[Feb. 19, 1912]
Dear Mother O’mine -
The dance is over! The girls say they think that I’m the only one who wore a chiffon dress that didn’t have it fairly ripped to pieces and mine isn’t even soiled in the back where the men take hold of you. Isn’t that nice? But oh! My slippers! Thank goodness I didn’t get expensive ones, for they are sights; but I didn’t lose the bows right off as many did. I came through the battle unscarred and unscathed, even though the floor was fierce and very crowded.
