Addie Ballantine goes in to Marees she is living now in a furnished apartment & has a maid to do the work, a nice car with a shophar [[chauffeur]] & is scart out of her wits. he left her a very nice shore place but they have already taken most of the furniture, so you can see the relatives are going to fight the case. its a great pity he hadnt married her. they are Italians she has got an awful foreign name but is a very mild little person. we wonder how its coming out, lawers [[lawyers]] will get the most of his property. will hope she gets a good share. such is life. now its time for Mrs Barry to get home from church.
