box for you and will get it off tomorrow. It will say that it is from Cpl. F. Lasley, but that is just Frank, who helps me in the shop. More things are labeled, but so you'll know what to expect, here is a list:

2 perfume]
1 decanter & 6 glasses - Liege crystal - keep
1 small Italian faience pitcher - keep
Set of 4 large & one small egg cups - keep
Set of 1 egg cup, napkin ring & plate - give away
Set of 5 napkin rings, keep or give away
About 6 hankies - labeled.
3 wooden cigarette boxes, labeled
1 wooden ash try that you might keep if you like it
1 copper ash tray, ditto, but do as you want
Copper sugar & creamer - keep
Lace collar - keep
Christmas cards - use next Christmas
Lace butterfly & earrings - I want them, but wouldn't they be cute on Betty Wilson?
2 sets fancy corks - use as suggested or as you want
I guess that's all. I have a big pair of wooden shoes to send home in another box. They fit me & I love them. I shall wear them & my peasant skirt and get fatter & fatter on scharum torte when I get home.
Why don't you get the bicycle out & try again? Then we can have some
