Dear Folks: | know just how you
feel when spring is just around the
corner. You are tired of winter
clothes. Anybody would be. With
this thought in mind | wen- through
one CT cur best shops yesterday and
wound UP at the blouse department,
there l stayed, for there was so
much to see and so much to hear.
First. the over-b blouse holds first
place, few tuck ins'' are used.
When l asked this very lovely sales
woman if she had something fresh,
smart, but, please. reasonably priced,
she showed me some of the sweet
est, freshest dimity blouses, tuck
i'm if you insist, but over-blouse pre-
ferred. These blouses had long
sleeves, and the new Peter Pan col
lars. They were finished In dainty
laces or the Irish picot edge. and
priced at $1.95.
1t is my plan to visit the shops
weekly and bring to you news Of
Of interest.
Cordially yours
AUNT JULIA.

arsenal, but was not admitted to the
arsenal. The oldest house is made of sand
stone, and there are very many interesting
relics there. Next day I visited the old
fort and, friends If you are ever in the
city, don't fail to visit this interesting
place. The fort was built by the Spanish
hundreds of years ago at a cost OF several
million dollars The most interesting places
are 1.-The Wishing Room" THE Secret
Dungeon and The Watch Tower" Cousins
think OF standing in the old watch tower
where brave men of bygone days watched
flor the enemy, or possibly their loved ones
on their way from the homeland, so far
away. Another interesting place is the
narrowest street in the United States. 1t is
only six feet two inches wide, and, on ac-
count OF being so narrow, it is closed to
traffic. The wall around the city has de-
cayed and all that is left is the old city
gates. | could write about the quaint old
town nil day, but ! am afraid I have
broken auntie's rules, so want some of you
! cousins to write to Florida hoy.
