I am going to try to get a day or two off and run down to see you.

Tell Anne the Press is greater than the Stage, and tell Elfreda and Miriam that I am collecting the autographs of famous people and that theirs would be greatly appreciated, particularly if attached to letters.

I must bring this epistle to an abrupt close, and go out on the trail of an engagement, the rumor of which was whispered to me last night.
With love to you and the girls.
"MABEL.
"P.

S.Frances sails for home next week." "What a nice letter," commented Elfreda.

"It is just like her, isn't it!" "Yes," replied Grace slowly.
