pose one needs to apologize for
having the flu, especially when

a nice Christmas though, inspite
of it, because everyone was so

work and came to take care of
us. There are some mighty fine

able to resume his usual activi
ties. Mrs. Adams says that “the
going away dolls” have been
placed in the hands of Dr. Du
mont Clarke, of the Lord’s Acre

for them last week and as he
travels extensively he was to de

them. We hope they have given
much joy and pleasure to the
