M. Cyrenius, of Detroit, are visiting her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Stilwell, Lake Worth. This is their first trip to Texas, although the other daughter, Miss Edna Cyrenius, was here in May.'I haven't seen many of the Fort Worth landmarks or show places yet,' Miss Cyrenius said, 'but I'll get around to them before we leave Aug. 8.'She is planning a week-end in Olney, sampling ranch life, and Miss Cyrenius has already decided to sacrifice a ration stamp for a pair of real Texas cowboy boots.Other typically-Texas products they will take home with them include a leather purse with cattlebrand decorations, and a calfskin billfold.Asked if she will be back for another visit, Miss Cyrenius replied:'We like Texas. We'll be back as soon as we can.'" "(Star-Telegram Photo.)" Published Star-Telegram Eve. Jul 31, 1944.
