Pennsylvany's all right, and away she ran. I have been writing for various papers about Kansas. I have been stirring up the women here to make garments for Kansas..... Oh, S., you don't realize what a blessing you enjoy in having money enough to obey your generous impulses! The most pinching part of poverty is that which nips such impulses in the bud. But there is compensation in all thing
