when I read Ira Maud House’s
picture cards from Los Angeles

can be no more delightful vaca-

and heY mother, Laura Woolsey,
are spending the f'
months of the year with Charles
Fletcher House and his familg.
They’ve been to many interest

Mexico, to the famed Mission ^t
Capistrana where the swallows
return each Mdrch 19 to the fa

It gives me great pleasure to
pay tribute to one of Navasota’s,
a best loved women. She is MIN-
NIE WOOD, who celebrated her
85th birthday February 16.'Who-
, ' ever coined the phrase “years
young” rather than “years old,”
•certainly had someone just like
her in mind when he did it.
Through the yfltrs, she has car
ried youth in her heart, whibh
reflects itself in her lovely face.
Thinking of her I'm reminded of
this little verse, written by a
San Antonio poet, Mabie Lindsey
Vick, “As costly odours permeate
a vase—Where treasured scent
was captive for a day—So beauty
lies a captive in the soul—When
God is resident in• mortal'clay.”.
I have a very nostalgic.feeling
