T CARLISLE, PA. Dem' F1'iend.' I need not tell you of the delightful time we are having, knowing the class as you do, this statement is unnecessary. It seems so queer to see us older. Some are quite gray. You would scarcely believe it but I weigh only 98 pounds and am none too well. Rachel's family,Awith whom I spend a large part of my time certainly are beginning to wear on my nerves. I have been matron in the Indian School at Carlisle for three months and it seems such a relief. Wfrite and tell us about you and your heathen friends. . . LAURA. BUTTE, IVIONTANA. Deaf' Classmate.'

Deaf' M issi01fLa1'ie.' I Aren't you surprised to hear from me in U. S. A.? I suppose you believe that I am still in India. Sometimes I almost wish' I were.

C. what an ardent movie fan your old friend was? You know I planned to go on the stage at that time. My husband was all that prevented me. Ch! I forgot to tell you that Fate decreed that the '4Deep Blue was none too small a distance to put between us and if you ever meet him at a clinic, inform him that his Hirst love is happy in U. S. A. MARGARET. SESKINAWAWA PATRICIA LAND, CAN. Dem' Roommate: I-Iere I am, enjoying the nrst vacation in 20 years. The abgve named place means nothing but loneliness and misery associated with a husband and ten chil- dren.. I have had ample opportunity to practice Adult and Infant Feeding, I-Iome Nuf'S1Ug 211161 First Aid. My knowledge of Vegetarianism I have never had oc- casion to apply sinceiour living is derived chiefiy from the Birds of the air, and the beasts of the fields. I can tell you, old friend, my ingenuity has been taXed more than once to supply more than the proverbial String of beads and sweet ' D ' - . . . . Smile for' ten children.
