Galveston is about fifty, not seventy-five, miles southeast of Houston. New Orleans is a monument to the bravery and enterprise of the carly French, not Spanish, explorers. You missed the Mardi Gras (not Mardi- gras), which takes place, this year, on the twenty-first of February. It is an occasion for much merriment and is not at all solemn. Biloxi, Mississippi, is a winter re- sort and has no great factories. Gen- eral Andrew (not “Stonewall’’) Jack- son, in 1815 (War of 1812), de- feated the British at Chalmette, not on Lake Pontchartrain (not Point- chartrain). There is only one bayou, and many palm (not pepper) trees, in New Orleans, No scrapple is served in Antoine's Restaurant (on St. Louis, not Iber- ville, Street), where you received your principal (not principle) thrill. For your summer clothes, I presume, you went to the department store, not the realty company, named Maison Blanche. Sincerely, J. J. Donat, 205 Third St., San Francisco, Calif. Winter Ture trees are losing all their leaves And chilling winds are sweeping by. Full many an ardent golfer grieves; But why? When courses lie beneath the snow And drifts are piled too deep to roam, Perhaps he'll find the time to go Back home. And there he'll meet that little band, The wife and kiddies, who will flock To welcome him—if they can stand The shock. So it is thus that winter’s haze The simple family life restores; Since father stays at home and plays Indoors. Night after night he will relate To little children at his knee Just how it was he missed that cight- Y-three. Night after night they,all will learn Just what it was that marred his swing. Until, at last, they come to yearn For Spring. —Golfing (London).
