Your most amusing permission-note received, and even though the joke is on me, I’m going to take it up to Mrs. Tillinghast just as it is - I think she’ll appreciate it as much as I did.
I think I’ll get yellow satin slippers to go with my S.P. dress. By-the-way, were there any respectable-sized pieces of that material left? I’d like to make a halo out of some, and if there's enough, a couple of embroidery bags for Christmas gifts.
I received a huge enormous box of wonderful asters from Percy today - deep red ones, rich purples, and some of those delicate pinkish-white. I had to borrow vases from every
