 Sitka, Alaska, Dec. 16 Amer Rydeen, Nome. Dear Friend:
 1 would have written be- fore but 1 wanted to be sure about this place be- fore l put anything on pa- per. 1 like this place, the climate suits me fine. We ! have had snow twice, but only for a day, then it rains and disappear. We have lots of sunshine too, since we came. The officers here from the superintendent down cannot do enough for you, they are first class doctors and nurses are in the same category.
 There is close to two hun dred here noW,We have lots of visitors as there is two boats a week. Capt. Frank Whitlam of the North Star, called in, as well as MT and Mrs Luther Dunbar of your city and an electrician and his wife came down on the North Star, and came in to have a look around and see things for themselves about the Home and the old tim- CTS.
 l am a long way better, though l am short winded yet, but l can walk a couple of blocks without stopping, that is something. We had a fine Thanksgiving dinner here and at the end with a cigar from Marshal Thomas Gaffney of Nome.
 It is a great bunch here more big fat men, than enough, looks like 1t agrees with them. You get all the tobacco you want, but you have to roll your own cig- arettes. We never hear a word from Nome here; but there is one or two persons on each boat from Fair banks or vicinity, that you can hear from there. 1 have no more to write about at present, with my best and kindest regards for yourself and wife, l remain yours truly,
 GEO. CROMACK,
 Pioneer Home, Sitka. Oh, yes-Merry Christmas

 Marriage Also Career
 Bette, who married her childhood sweetheart, Harmon O. Nelson, the orchestra leader, is said by friends to be as intent on successful mar riage as on a successful acting career. Ham" has his work, Bette has her work, and both are trying to be very good at the things they are doing Aside from that they are MT. and Mrs. Nelson; which sums up that.
 MT. Nelson likes golf, and Mrs. Nelson doesn't. But Oscar - if he should stand on the mantle as he probably won't-will hear MT Nell son tell his golf stories to a sincere ly interested Mrs. Nelson.
 And if Oscar gets ensconced in the dining room, his gold-plated lips are likely to water, especially on Satur- days. Mrs. Nelson, who doesn't care much for night clubs but likes good food and a nice home and nice clothes, entertains her family and intimates every Saturday with an old fashioned Boston bean dinner-with apple sauce and brown bread and whipped cream.
