The contractor has had his men here shingling and painting the house and fixing the chimney. They are nearly through with my end of the house, thank goodness, though I guess there is still enough left to do to scrub the place up well.

I stopped off in town the day I came back from Stougham and got two dresses for $2.95 each. They are dark figured tweed, -one a blue and white and the other a red and white with a kind of green edge around neck and sleeves. I have worn one a number of times. The other needs rehanging a little in front. I think they will be good and practical for the fall and on
