The Geisha
Don’t you know what '‘Gicsha
is? Well, don’t ask Dec Sing
or Leo Mai gules because they
i«>r*t know, but come up atfd
have a look at the real dope.
The Geisha is ,iiic iate. t sa

Holiday wear, it is u eombin

is made up of a riot, a phuntas
magora, a symphony, a not pou

blend of all the colors of a
flower b**d.
1 hate to think what will hap
pen if Slender James and Hani

Xmas, to say nothing hboul the

Lots of other classy stuff if
you are looking for quality.

“I am leaving this morning for my

l believe they are all my friends, fer
(he cordial treatment 1 received while1
in your city. 1 have never found a
better class of citizens anywhere and
1 have the greatest affection for you
all. 1 was unable last night to per
haps properly express myself at the
mark of esteem the boys of the unit
gave me, and 1 am still unab|c to
find words' of appreciation, but I want
all the boys to know that 1 do feel
th ir thanks and 1 want them to get

would be in line for a commission asj
you have been given the rudiments j

“I want to thank all those 1 have!
come in contact with during my stay
in Seward for making my service vis
it so pleasant and encouraging. 1!
want to thank the members of the
Arctic brotherhood for the courtesy
extended to me and if l do not re
turn in the Spring, perhaps by then
being ordered to the front, 1 want all
lo know that 1 have a tender place*
in mv heart for all in Seward.
