Dear Folks: have very, very Sc
rious illness in my family and am
spending most Of my time at the nos
pital, so / know you will be patient
if your personal letters are little
slow in being answered for the next

me at the hospital and they have
been a great interest and comfort to
me. 1t has seemed like having a
visit from dear friends. Am send
ing out the samples and have been
able to carry out the immediate COM
missions requested, but the general
questions | am answering rather
slowly. Please think of me and write
just as often as you can.
Cordially yours.
AUNT JULIA.

use in the table bowls, but they make

more deliberately decorated you can
put different fruits on your table at
the base of your bowl of autumn
leaves.
