The masquerade party on Saturday night was a great success. It was given in the big hall above the gymnasium of which sister can tell you. It was decorated to represent the mid-way of the Pan-American, with booths or side shows on each side. You never in your life saw anything so funny as the variety of costumes. There were French, Swiss, and Dutch peasants, policemen, Frenchmen, soldiers, Greek maidens, Indians, Fiji Islanders, coons, Turks, Gypsies, Chinese, Japanese -- everything you can think of!
There was some beautiful fancy dancing too. A Japanese dance given by four girls dressed as Japs, and a Bohemian dance by four gypsies, one of whom was Miss Sousa. She trained them. My but she can dance! I have to study Greek now so bye bye, ducky.
Peggy.
