Epistolary art is lost,
Or so the critics say;
The time and trouble it would vost
Are far too great today.
And yet though leagues may separate
Two souls all fond and dear,
They make, by methods up to ddt",
Their sentiments quite clear.
The understanding day by day
Harsh words will never wreck.
For mother sends a post-card gay,
And father sends a check.
HOME AND MOTHER.
AVhlle around this world you wander,
foreign countries you may roam,
Do you ever think of mother and
the girl you left at home?
Do you ever think how happy they
would be If you would write?.
Do you ever think they're, praying
for their boy, both day and
night?
How they watch the mailman as he
comes along each day,
Drop something in the mailbox and
go upon his way.
Can you imagine the sorrow they re
ceive In place of joy
Because there is no letter from their
absent sailor boy?
You may think you're far away,
Or that some misdeed of yours has
turned their hearts to clay;
You can replace the sorrow you have
brought with lasting joy,
If you'll only write a letter, and
sign, your sailor boy,
AVhen you went to serve your coun
try, didn't your mother say to
you
"No matter where you are, my boy,
my prayers will follow you?"
AVhen you said good-bye to sweet
heart, and donned the navy blue
Her Heart was filled with sorrow, as
she promised to be true.
Change your course, old shipmate,
write a letter home again.
You'll find you're not forgotten, for
they love you just tho same,
And when your cruise Is over, fill
their hearts with pride and joy;
Return to home and mother, a noble
sailor boy.
LIFE IS PRETTY full for tho
women of today. The hours fly
by, laden with duties and pleas
ures (more duties than pleasures is
the average). Tho weok is over, the
month has gone and before we know
another year is written as tho date
for our letters.
Francesca muses as she turns
over the contents of her writing
desk: "I don't get as many letters
as I did; I wonder why." Probably
she doesn't write as many. There
are so many other things to take
one's attention. Shopping, sewing,
She counts them on her fingers. It
Is so hard to write there Is never
anything to say their interests are
no longer mine it is so easy to
forget.
What of the dear ones loft behind
In that far off city? Father, moth
er, brothers, sisters, schoolmates,
friends how dear they were when
she came away! How they remem
bered her birthday her Christmas!
Here are their letters now. Such a
thick pile, but their dates are more
than a year old! A few picture pos
tals on the top. A little flush comes
to her face as she lays aside the
package. How often has sho remem
bered to write? She can hardly re
call when. So much Jias come be
tween. New friends, now associa
tions and the old are forgotton.
It began with tho coming in of
tho picture postal. It was so easy
to write tho address and then "All
well" on the other side, says an ex
change. Conscience was satisfied
and that particular duty, after striv
ing vainly for a hearing, took longer
and longer naps, and then wont to
sleep. Only sleeping, however, and
a vigorous shake will do wonders
toward ltd awakening.
Francesca may not bo a literary

genius. Her letters may never be
gathered from relatives and frlenas
for publication. But, when sho will
she writes easily and what sho writes
Interest those who love her.
They love her still, thoso friends
who wrote two letters to her one,
till, discouraged, they stopped alto
gether. It is not for her to say
"Write me a letter from home.
They are only too ready; only wait
ing for her call.
If Francesca Is wise sho will not
close the desk until at least one let
ter Is written, sealed and stampea,
ready to mall to tho "old folks at
home." If sho is wiser still she will
leave the desk open, write a notice
somewhere, tie a string around her
finger do something to make her
remember that tomorrow morning,
whether dishes aro washed, floors
swept, sewing done, she will sit
down again at that desk and write
another letter and keep on doing so
until conscience Is satisfied and duty
done.
' "Family dinners" will he tho lead
ing form of entertainment for
Thanksgiving next Thursday on Coos
Bay. Of course, the guests In nil In
stances won't be confined to immedi
ate relatives or the family circle so
that "Family dinners" indicate more
the sumptuousness of the spread than
anything cIbo. As Coos Bay dinners
have always been noted and their
fame been carried far by visitors who
have enjoyed them, the Thanksgiv
ing feasts hero will bo excelled no
where. Of course there will be num
erous dancing parties, a football
game in the morning at North Bend
between tho Marshficld and North
Bend high schools, and other di
versions but somehow the average
person most closely associates a fine
dinner with Thanksgiving. The year
has been a good one and thanks will
be expressed but at no time will tho
big Thanksgiving dinner ho lost sight
of.
Mrs. Hillls Short was tho hostess
to the A. N. AY. club at tho Flanagan
homo Thursday afternoon. Tho

Smith will entertain tho club Thurs

Tho Marshfield ladles who have
been boosting the establishment of a
public library here aro discussing the
advisability of having a "Tag Day"
to secure additional funds for the
nucleus to start it. Many cities have
recently had "Tag Days" and many
thousands of dollars have been
raised for various public enterpris
es such as hospitals, Y. M. C. A.
Y. W. C. A., libraries, etc. Artistic
tags aro printed, genorally Indicating
tho purpose for which they aro to bo
sold and then the ladies and children
on a specified day mako a general
canvass and dispose of thom at so
much apiece. Everyono is supposed
to buy at least ono tag and many
buy scores to "help a good thing
albng." In addition to tho benefits
from the funds raised, much fun is
derived from the "Tag Days" by all.
