My brother Will has been away on business for several months. In June, Mrs. Kellogg and Ellen & Dorothy left to join him for a visit with a friend in the Colorado Mountains, and William and three boy friends, with a chauffeur, made the trip in the same machine in which they went to Yosemite. Mrs. Kellogg & Dorothy are now visiting "Winnie the Skylark" in Detroit.
