to write to her.I   The dot  puzzle and  the Pocketbookfof Knowledge were  interesting.     Is  the%atter  something new?     It  is
something  like  ''Believe It  or Not'* which was  popular a  few
years  ago.ft^our previous letter4mentioned  a  funeral,   and  I
asked  you last week whose  it'was;   in this  letter you  said  it
wasjMrs.  jStiu-ler's.    ''Id bonder hdrr l!r.   Miller will  get along;

enough to  sow a.  *pyung,,v  (six  feet  square)   at v2.50.     It       k
