Va.: "I remember when school kids would get but five cents worth of foolscap paper and it would have to last them during the entire, four-month term." From Mrs. Mary Stewart of Chi cago: "I remember when the family doctor wrould call to see a sick member of the family and examine all six or eight of the children by having them stick out their tongues for him to sec, or by lifting their eyelids. Then he would open his big heavy valise and produce little bottles of pills for each. With a lot of conversa tion and advice thrown in, the visit took about an hour and would cost Mother one dollar." From Anon: "I remember when Elizabeths were known as 'Lizzies,' Marthas as 'Matties,' Sarahs as 'Sallies and Margarets as 'Maggies. " From Mrs. F. A. Locke of Omaha, Neb.: "I remember when I could buy a complete round of thick steak for 10 cents . . . country butter for 10 cents . . . wotermelons so large you could hardly carry them for five cents . . . and fresh eggs at five cents a dozen. Those days arc gone, but not forgotten." (Contributions to this column arc invited from old-time readers.
