But I met so many friends and chatted so long on | golf’ the street corners that Monday soon became a lost cause as far as accom- plishing anything (1 enjoyed myself though. Aren’t small towns nice?) ‘Tuesday afternoon I started out again. Of course 1 had two strikes against me by not having a clue as to what I wanted to buy for anyone. So I trudged trom store to store, gaped and gawked and pawed over articles, finally bought one gift. This was all with the helpful assistance of Elaine who wheeled not one but two strollers around the aisles in Cariboo Home Furnishings where I expected the crash of china to resound any minute, carried around silver balls and bottles of cologne in the drug store, dragged out shoes in Borkow- ski's, and cried because I wouldn't let her keep a chocolate bar in the Vogue. I finally trudged home desperate, discouraged, desopndent and unut- terably weary. Life and Christmas were just too much.

Things began to brighten up on Thursday morning, when I got an early start and managed to buy four gifts in one store, two in another, and half-a-dozen. in still another. Saturday afternoon I foisted Elaine on her Daddy, and accomplisted a bit more. I still have gifts’ to buy, not to mention a birthday gift for the editor who insists on being perennally 27 on December 23rd, a most revolting date for a birthday.

We are all enjoying the | change.” A couple of months ago we had quite a long letter from Mrs. Wm. Gillard at South Gate, Cal. which is just a short distance from Los Angeles. She says Bill got a very good job the day after he arrived last March as an accountant. “It’s lovely here,” she goes on, “no sub-zero weather to worry about. The school- ing doesn’t seem to be as geod. Don- na, now in grade 2, is getting the same work she had in grade one at Williams Lake.” And then a personal letter from Larry and Paula Avery at Detroit (everybody's going to the States, it seems). Dr. Avery is finding his work at the Henry Ford Hospital most stimulating and is enjoying it very much. Paula says they have made some nice friends, but miss the free- dom and frank informality of the Cariboo. She says the latest fashion in Detroit is fur... fur on night- gowns, fur on dresses, fur ear-rings. Well, I'll have you know, Paula, that the Cariboo is right up to the minute as far as style. I saw fur ear- rings in our local jewelery store the other day. So there!
