Dear Mother - 
    Yes, my mouth hurts like the Old Boy Himself - but I hope it will be better ere long. It looks like [Teems], too, but why worry if the ultimate result is to be so “surpassing fair”?
    We had a wild bat (?) last night. Pres. Galt came over and spent the night with me and her room-mate, Chris. Barnes, came and stayed with Nat. Bassett. We all 


went down to Senior Parlor in our kimonos and had tea and served! Such excitement! This morning Pres and I went to the Waffle-house for breakfast - and ate long and much. 
        I played in S.P. this noon for D.J. Wolf, a violinist, in our class. We played two of Brahm’s Hungarian Dances. I dread to think of that horrible old Student Recital Wednesday afternoon - no one knows how I hate them. The audience is always excessively sparse to say the least- - and what few there are, criticize until one wishes the old recitals had never been invented. The people that endeavor to sing usually flat from ¼ to a whole tone - ugh!!?*!
        Saturday afternoon was German play - “Das Prinzip” - by Hermann Bahr - my Glee Club sang and 
were really quite grand, I thought. 
        I’m sending some more little invitations home to be sent out - wilt do it for me? Thanks.
        A bunch of people has just come in, so I must stop.
        Lovingly - 
                Muriel.
