Dear Old Mrs

Mrs. Darguziene, a Lithuanian, 110 years old, with a wonderful knowledge of local folk songs, has promised to.come from her village to Kaunas to make gramophone records, but, not trusting trains or cars, she insists on walking—a distance of 100 miles.

Her daüghter, a mere slip of 60, has already arrived there, saying "Mother will follow." Naturally, Mrs. D. cannot be quite so nippy over 100 miles as she was when a girl in her "nineies.

But one-ean imagine her swinging along—singing a song-at a steady four miles an hour. Olga's Lament'-almost certainly she will sing There's snow in my shoes; There's snow in my hair; There's snow in my bleu:

There's snow everywhere There's snow in my heart, Which feels like a stone, Since Grinkir, my lover, Left me alone.

Grinkir, The Stinkir!
