GOSSIP

All gossip is hyperbole,
A strand of truth stretched too far,
A little knife thrust verbally,
That cannot help but leave scar.
Gossip is the idle's way
Of seeming wise and oh so sure, oh,
A sign by which some folk convey
That they're an information bureau.
Gossip is the clanling chains
Man rattles in his neighbours attic,
To hide some skeleton life contains,
He turns free speech to static.
Gossip is the Monday hash
Of many things folks wish they knew,
AS long as we can spice the trash,
Who cares if it is false or true.
Gossip is the grand sensation,
Telling tales, not knowing why,
But who puts truth in conversation,
Will never have much to deny!

Minneapolis. The letter follows:
Dear Mother and Dad:
am feeling fine and very happy.
1 am now in England. England is a
very beautiful country.
I made a visit to London the
other day and had a very nice time.
1 visited Westminster Abbey, st.
Pau's Cathedral, the Palace, the
Tower, Downing Street, Lambeth
Walk, The Old Lady of Thread
Needle Street, st. James Park,
government buildings and the Lime
House District.
I certainly wished you could see
all the places that have been
bombed. 1t is really terrible. Things
are very expensive here. One days
visit in London cost me sixteen
dollars. The English people are
very friendly.

vate, First Class. wear one stripe

$17.O0 left on me now. 1 am going
to cablegram you $50 or more the
first of August. I don't need all
that money over here.
1 had your old allotment in
creased to $50 a month. You will
receive it steady starting the first

and my insurance will amount to
$3.50 a month leaving me $500 a
month. I am going to make that
do. All that l need 1 bought before
1 left the States. will only have
to buy cigarettes and candy, if
can get it.
The English money was very
hard to get used to at first but it
is all right now.
Please write me often and let me
know how everything is. When you
write always send the letters by
Air Mail and 1 will get them a lot
faster. All the mail has to be CEN
sored so when you write, write on
only one side of the paper so if
they cut anything out they won't
mess up the other side. 1 received
four letters since have been here.
One from you and Erma in which
nothing was cut out. I got one
from Miss Davis and Miss Morgan
that was cut up so bad 1 could
hardly read any of it.
You and Dad be sure to take care
of yourselves and don't worry
about me because I am all right.
I really have swell job.
Tell Erma I received her letter
the other day and was very happy.
The first time 1 get a chance, if
they let US, l will send her a SOU
