#173--In the Paper--Divorce Confusion

The theme for this week’s challenge is “In the Paper.”  I love old newspapers.  There is a tremendous amount of information in them.  The advertisements can tell you which stores are having a sale, how much eggs or a loaf of bread costs, and if you look at the pictures, what kind of clothes were in fashion.  The social columns are a wealth of information.  In the Butler Daily Times, I learned that
my grandfather was home from school  and that my Great Aunt Lottie and her nieces were visiting her relatives  In essence, newspapers cover the daily life of the people and places where they lived as well as more unusual events.
