M ** Caroline Clausen our kitchen
matron u iii and 1jhs hern obliged to
nation her position and return to the
States. She leaven cm the “Admiral
Karragut” early in April, in care of
the stewardess, arriving in Seattle a
bout the fourteenth, where her cou
sin Mins Olga Lurdstroin of Minn
eapolis, will meet her and take' her to

One of her pupils, Dora Miller, our
oldest girl, is doing the cooking in a
verv acceptable munuer. She has a
special talent for the work. A.t pre

some older person to help her in plan

manages her work finely, and keeps
the kitchen and store rooms in excel

the Western Washington Baptist
State Convention ami the Puget
