Alice Louise Reynolds Club. "When the Spaniards landed in 1492, there were six thousand native Indians known as The white men found treasure in establishing sugar plantations, for which they used these Arawaks as slaves," she said. "But unable to stand the abuse, the Arawaks died off." In 1655 England conquered the salesman. Shopping can be tiresome. It's nice to be able to sit down in comfortable chairs and pleasant surroundings and rest for awhile. If this is what they want, why don't they say so instead of running the clerks ragged and trying on every pair of shoes in sight? Prom time is the worst.

Thanks for unloading. I hope you will feel better when you see this letter in print. Dear Ann Landers: An elderly woman friend sent me a $25 gift certificate for Christmas. I thought it was a lovely gesture and said so. For her birthday last week I decided to do the same for her.
