I  don't  feel that I  can 'spend the car fare   just to  see
the wedding at Pyeng Yang,   and  so I  took my gift down to the
Center «nd asked  if  someone  going from there could take it.     I
guess Margaret Billingsley will." The  gift is an old  fashioned
Korean brass candlestick,   about three  feet high,  which looks
very  fine  sitting on the  floor..   It has the protector fromfwind
and wick clippers to  pxntwith it.     It  seems to be rather old and
of goodiworkmanship.     I bought it at the door here for ftmryfen.

house, but as they would have to sit on the floor I
they would not like it. But Dorothy seemed to want
and so they readily offered to come this afternoon.
Of course she has not been in a Korean house before. She landed
in Korea just yesterday. And I can remember how curious I was
to get a* glimpse inside a Korean house when I fforst came.
Yesterday artother box of cards came, thts being the fourth
this fall.  I could see the infinite amount of labor that had gone
into them, and I got Bn  idea for using them here. Just the design
part can be cut out and pasted on a plain card. Perhaps we could
use those with the English verses for some older girls who would
like to study'the English. But heretofore *I had not thought of
the olderiyoung people caringjfor such things. We can try It
out.  In the country districts aimost an v thing may be appreciated.

the Saturday when they drove out could no+ have been better, I
thought. How I would have enjoyed picking the figs and peaches
and mulberries and then partaking of the peach ice cream.

I  I think it was wonderfully kind of the trinity men and
Mr. Shaw to pay the car expenses. I felt it was of G-od, for you
are doing His work and were inf the path of duty when the accident
happened. You should receive gifts just as much as Bro. Shuler or
Thank Bro. Pat ton and Mrs. Cheely very much for me, for their gifts
