MRS HINES WRITES LETTER TO
•HOME FOLKS"
Atlanta, Ga.
I*;«-dmont Hospital
V.cust 6th, 1628,
'p, a r Folk* in Milledgeville:
I have received so many letters and
ds from you good friends of the
-Old Home Town” that it would be
impossible to answer them all, so 1
a i just “ending you a letter throu
K . paper to say how I have ap-
tin dated all those messages and to
remind you that I still have a »um-
l H , r .,f weeks arranged for at the
? , ime old stand—and the postman
make* two trips a day. I have felt
terribly selfish some days when 1
w ,. lU ’d receive all the mail on our
ward—except maybe one letter.
Hurrah for C. S. C. W.
Thu i'rist people I saw when I ar-
T j ve j a: the hospital were three G.
r. \V. girls, Misses Helen Parker,
Porothy Akin, and Margaret Camp—
nre taking the course in dietetic*
her, and have the management
practically of the entire big kitchen
Sunc job—.ind, believe me—its nict
r. have a friend—in the kitchen
m ver had better meals in my life.
Fir»t Erperiences
I wav terribly preen—had never
oven visited a hospital, but about sis
times in my life when this "urder
to take up my nbode in one com*
alonp. Of course, I was n "patient’
—and as such, my pulse and tempera
ture -'ire taken three times a day—it
was funny! with two weeks on “in
mate” and one of the operations over
with, they hasn’t yet been able to
•care out anythinp but a "normal”—
for wheih I am proudly prateful.
When the "bip exam"—was over—
without which no patient is allowed
on nn operatinp table—the doctor
nnn'-unced—“well I can’t find a thinp
in the world the matter with you"—
if I had been an undignified person—
I would have jumped up and cracked
mv heels—for there was never a
woman lived that didn’t "fear” she
had .anywhere from three to five of
the "uncureable” deseases.
"Gettinp my record" was another
thinp that I had to have some fun
about—but believe me—they know
who, what, where, how, and why was
1 horn; now many eyeteeth and the
number of my shoe. The last wa
most necessary since it is to hav
half of each foot cut off that I am "i
for sixty day* 1 .” It seemed nothinp
but fair to me, after havinp lived
with a pair of No. 10 double E’s all
my life that I should have a little say-
*-> about this order—so I hove asked
Maggie who brinps my tray—the head
nurse, who bosses us all, and the doc
tor who took "a drop of my life's
blood" to see if there were any boll
weevils in it. In this book will be
the names of all you pood flok? who
have written to me—and I have
several papes devoted to guests—so
if you will just come up you can
write your name too. The last home
folks to see me were Misses Alice
Hall and Sara Allen who were spend-
inp the week-end with Miss Mae As-
bury with them was “Jere"—of-
course! I was fftirely K lad to see them
—afldfunny—funny—they expected
to find me about "passed out”—bless
their hearts—but we manaped to
arc up a few lauphs and one joke.
Take care of the "Old Home
Town" while I .tun away. Don’t let
the whiteway lights disappear, and
get all the paving done.
Way sorry to miss the Methodist get-
together picnic—know it was great.
Don't let the city water question get
too hot—don’t know which half of
the council I side with—glad
water’s pure—but am always om
looking ahead to keep things from
getting “out-of-relack.”
Smile at "the judge" when you
—him—we may think he ought to
feel down nnd out—but a new-
called “my wife's gone to the hospi
tal” might prove as popular us
old one that took her “to the c
try"—and you know how that \
Milledgeville is stall thp garden
ypot of the earth to me and it yill
be a happy day when I can “scl
foot” on her green grass ind be able
to bnct more “play in my own back
yard.”
Best wishes to you all, "havinp a
wonderful time, wish you were here.’ 1
Is ever,
NELLE WOMACK HINES.
P. S. We were all havinp such a
pood time, Mae, Alice, Sara and Jere,
that they forgot to write in my book
—somebody please pape them and
tell them I say "come hack.”
Dr. J. L. Beeson, president of G.
S C. W., will sometime before the
openinp of the collepe, move into the
Old Executive Mansion to make his
home.
The interior of the buildinp is be- ■
inp retouched and done •
has been several years since this has
been done.
The Mansion is one of the
historic and imposinp buildings ii
State, and around it clurter mi
Mike, who v.ss advancing rapidly
in his work, was stopped one
by the foreman, who said:
“Mike, you are doing fine. I
going to raise your wagea”
Mike, all excited, said: "No,
*, hejabbers, no. I lose enough
•w when I’m off a day."
Dear God, I need You awrful bad;
I don’t know what to do.
My papa’s cross, my nvima’s sic
I got no friend* but You.
Them keerless angels went and
brung,
’Stid of the boy I ast,
A weenchy, teenchy baby girl;
I don’t see hoy they dast!
And God, I wish’t you’d take her
back;
She’s just as good as new;
Won't no one know she’s second
hand,
But ’ceptin’ me and You.
An’ pick a boy, dear God, Yourself,
The nicest in Your fold.
But please don’t choose him quite
so young;
I'd like him five years old.
Tom (passionately): "The more
I look .at you, dear, the more beau
tiful you seem.”
Anastasia (expectantly):
Tom (brutally): “I ought to
look at you oftener.”
Elevator Man: "Billy, your face
is dirty.”
Billy: “Wat’s it to you? Yi
not my pa.”
E. M.: "No, but I’m bringing you
up.’’
New Assistant: "Gentleman aski
If this flannel shirt wil lshrink.”
Proprietor: “Does it fit him?”
“No, it’s too large."
“Yes, of course it shrinks.’
"What does your father do?”
"Nothing.”
"And you?”
"I take .after my father."
