Our widows are right opposite
across the court-ad we talk to
each other and make all our plans
thus.
Last week, Christmas being
upon US, we spent most of the
time shopping. We have done no
sightseeing to speak of. Mayo
tells me she hasn't even been to
the Coliseum; that she has waited
to do all these sights with me.
Pretty Sad for Englishers!

They go away from home
those we love and who love us.
But they don't forget; and every
little while or so there comes back
letter. And its usual ending,
very impatient for news, is like
this:
"Please let me hear from you at

mutual friends" Then the names
of certain friends are specifically
set down that these surely shall
not be forgotten in the answering

throngs, and we nearly collapsed
from the scent of the place (until
the incense relieved u.s., and the

happy. She doesn't seem to worry
about anything. They had to fire
their cook on Christmas eve, and
had invited some friends in for
egg-nogg Christmas evening. But
everything passed off beautifully.
Franklin and made the egg-nogg
by the recipe mother always used
with rum, benedictine, and whip

think it excellent and called for
more. The weather last week was
bad, but yesterday and today were
perfect-the bluest of blue skies
and the air exhilarating. We. with
the Klines and Trista, took a ride
in the Borghese gardens all after
noon. This is the most beautiful
park we have seen Trista called

BIRMINGHAM FOLK OFF
FOR FOREIGN LANDS

Out on the blue seas soon will be
going others of Birmingham's own.
They are Mr.. and Mrs. Richard w.
Massey and Miss Katherine Massey
who are sailing to South America.
They will leave New York Feb
ruary 8, their journey terminating
at Rio de Janeiro, wnere they will
visit the Brazilian centennial ex-
position, which marks the 100
years that that country has been
free.
Of course, there will be lovely
and entertaining stops all along the
route, and Ia different cities will
be in the tour. Among these are
Havana, Cuba; points along the
Panama canal-while they will also
visit the Bermudas.
To Have Suite
They will enjoy the comforts of
the trip almost as we'll as if they
were sailing in regular apartment;
for they have engaged a suite on
ship, anH will therefore not have to
be annoyed with calling porters to
bring up ice water or soap in the
various and sundry foreign hotels.
They have taken passage ON the
"Reliance."
At the Brazilian exposition, the
United States has a wonderful
building and exhibit, and sent men
by airplanes to the opening in Oc-
tober.
Before going aboard ship, Mr..
and Mrs. Massey and Katherine
will enjoy opera and plays in New
York. The city is almost like home
to them, since they go to Lake
George for months every year, and
motor down to New York for play
time trips.
Among others who are leaving
shortly for very faraway lands
are: Mrs. Walker Percy, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. H. Kettig, Miss Dorothy
Kettig, Miss Virginia Kaul and
Mr.. Wellborn. The party will leave
Birmingham together. and go to
New York, from which they will
sail February 7. They will take
the Mediterranean trip.
