Jeannette F. in addition [aunouiises] herself for Friday, Sat., + Sunday. She will have to take care of herself. I fear. Practice last night was more hopeful than it has been. In answer to your question as to visitors. I think it the height of absurdity for Father to come all the way from Pgh. to hear me talk for 18 minutes on a subject on which I am comparatively uninformed. To answer the question you asked: - it will not make me more [n]ervous, for the simple reason that I am already nervous - generally - and [tence] when I speak I am nervous at first, even in practice. I seem to have lost my former self composure in debating. In inter-class nothing phased me. I hope I get over it in the next 2 wks - our negative team is not strong enough to stand such silliness. But as to poor old marse - I love him too much to allow him to sit thru 2 hours of boredom. I can just see the expression on his face! He would prefer a good "show". Moreover, he would dis-course forever after to me on the folly of being a highbrow, of studying "Latin, Algebra etc." [Suit] yourself, but don'tyou think it terribly foolish? Mother, by no means come, I felt guilty in keeping you away the 4 extra days up here, so please stay home now. Let me know your conclusion, Father. Remember that we will practice Sat. morning in the Barnard Theatre, and probably will be entertained by B. Sat. aft. + Sun-day. - at least, if we aren't, we should be. V. does that for visitors, anyhow. So I wouldn't be able to loaf with you. Let me know your [concbesion]. You + Marse are welcome - if you cough up 35� admission to say nothing of the [Pa.v.v] fare - but don't be foolish in your enthusiasm for little [Buuy]. <To Mother: Don't bother - will get it made at Luckey's skirts for debate, + I always have a hard hunt to find one big enough around the waist to borrow. Thea - everybody's is dirty this time of yr. We don't mind that here, but I didn't want to wear a grayish one away. So I tho't the least trouble would be to buy one + feel comfortable in one that isn't pinned around the waist. And I thought also the most satisfactory would be to have Miss [Willowbrand wake] it - she has my measurements - the last skirt she made still fits - If you [tha't] it unwise < > turn up the him, I could have that done [heree]><at an alteration shop in one day. She could make a white flannel pleated skirt - spring model - I don't suppose there is much of a change in the style from last yr. IF you think this is impractical, I'll try to buy one here, but I imagine it will be hard to get 1 ready - made so early in the spring + I hardly have the time to hunt. Wire me immediately if you don't think having it made at home would work, + I'll try then to get it here. (12 inches from ground - I'll send a white skirt in my laundry that could be used as waist + length guide). Pleated I guess is best, unless they aren't being used anymore. It would have to be here by Thursday A.M. at the latest if not hemmed - otherwise P.M. We leave Friday. Remember she always makes them with 1 fitting + usually they don't mean much change. R.S.V.P. by wire if I should try around here.> Thanks, Father, for your arguments. We are using them, but one can't talk 21 minutes on moral obligation. We need facts on their incompetence + there seems to be a scarcity of dope on that. My speech is to be on ec. dangers + incompetence. (That from my "ickle" brain!) What do you think the danger to the Ph. from Japan under absolute independence would be? The 4 - powers treaty would protect them from being grabbed, but not from Ec. ag-gression. On the other hand, they aren't protected from the latter now. I don't know - do you. As a business man of sound judgment, we would like your opinion. We hesitate to intrude upon your time, but we do so because we realize how splendid is your attitude toward college women - Haha! Please let me know - seriously. I am writing this while having my hair dried - I had to take time off for a shampoo. I have this awe-inspiring con-ference with Miss Ellery to talk over my makeup for tonight. I tremble at a class of one - intellectually-minded or not! What date is J [Einstein's] wedding? I lost the clipping which I carefully [join] aside. R.S.V.P. The bank check have come, also blue dress. I am taking the medicine without belladonna, successfully - thank goodness. <Which> remeinds me please put in a cork in the next laundry that will fit the woods drug-store bottle (you have 1 too). I want to be able to take it away with me, _ the dropper cork is very loose. That will save time for me. Let me know if you have done so soon. Love Fannie

Show moreDear Mother + Father: Being in the Infirmary has its advantages - it "enhances one's self-feelings" - as Miss washburn would say. The kids are overcoming me with notes and books, etc. Unfortunately, neither of the 2 bks. that I was anxious to get time to read are here - "This Freedom", which Pete still has and "Upstream." I am sorry it came - I wanted to order something else for it. It is silly to have 2 copies. At present I am "[Ausgelesen]", if there is such a word. I read Galsworthy's "Silver Box," Oscar Wilde's "A Woman of No Importance," some boring essays of [Havelock] Ellis and some more interesting ones in Lytton Strachey's "Books + Characters". None of them thrilled me, but it was all my non-academic library had to offer. I can't do any work, as all my work is libe work. Possibly that is a good thing! I have been taking cold medicine all day. Fortunately they didn't try to give me anything else, so there was no "internal" or vocal conflict. My [Corona] certainly has spoiled me. I have been writing notes and letters most of the day, and I surely do loathe writing by hand. Dr. T. was in this afternoon. She volunteered the information that I don't like her at all that I am so fond of Dr. B. that I don't like her a bit! I said, "It isn't likely that I would think that - much less say it, is it?" And she said "You don't have to say it." Then she said she was only [plaing] with me. She didn't know how much she embarrassed me, though. This was what they gave me for lunch - meat pudding, vile tomato soup, baked potato, pease, pickles + ginger'snaps. Needless to say, I selected therefrom the peas + potatoes. Tonight from the array set before me I selected chicken, sweet potato, clear soup, and custard. The Infirm. must be hard on people who have no sense - I mean, when it comes to taking care of themselves when they're sick. I was allowed to take a bath this aft. The bath-room had to be cleaned this A.M., so I remained unwashed till 3 P.M. My American habits were annoyed at that. My tempie has not been above 98 4/5 all day. Just at present it [is] 98 3/5. Sent you a wire so it would arrive the same time as the letter, and so that you would not worryI think my fur coat came. At least, I got a notice in the aft. mail to call for package in express office. Miss Hamilton's letter was most interesting, Although it sounded very discouraged and lonesome. I felt very sorry for her, but possibly I misconstrued the tone of it, being myself somewhat dismal when I read it. If she can't make a success of a job like that - I don't know who can. I certainly think she is the ideal person for such a position. Did I ever write that Tes Burton couldn't come back this year because she had a very serious nervous break-down, and is having to live a semi-invalid life. I think she takes 9 hrs. at Mich. - or thereabouts. I'm awfully long-winded con-sidering that I'm sick of writing by hand, but I'm also sick of reading, and I know you enjoy getting long letters from your Baby, Papsy. Perhaps my being in the Infirm, will make you write to me if nothing else does!! Hope you'll go to see Henrietta. If so, tell me all about her house and everything else. I wrote to her today. I did not say you were in A.C. - in case you shouldn't go to see her! Mother. Please to take it very easy + don't overstrain your "tooth-picks" at first. Loaf your laziest! Otherwise I know nothing. except that I missed a fire-drill last night, thank goodness. I'm not allowed company, but I can't say that I pine for it particularly. Sometimes I think I like myself too well! Send the enclosed clippings to Pete. It is against my principles to send clippings, but I think these will interest you. Love, Fannie overI always put in a laundry list, Mothe. Return. Sunday Oct. 22nd 1122 Hill St, [Annlator] Thank you, dear Stella. For your note and its enclosure, its very, very sad enclosure! I am writing Mrs. Hartley to-day. Her life as been so [forcused] upon her husbands hour by hour, that its hard to imagine how she will occupy herself now - and without what seems necessary occupation, it is almost impossible to continue life! I've [baen] meaning to send a line to tell you what admiring things "Ted" Burton says of Fanny. It's [eirdent] the latter has made quite a big place for herself inthe admiration and fondness of her college mates - probably few more than her [are modesty wile permit her to recognize]. Good old Fan! You didn't [tell] me how she was or whether the sum-mer's treatment had done her real good - I want to hear. Send her my love, please. Evidently it wasnt an upbuilding summer for either you or Marcus. I'm sorry, but I feel almost anything else is a more restful vacation than an automotive trip! Perhaps a later substution will work out. I can hardly say yet "How I like it" - its all so new the [volors] so many personal sacri-fices - + so many problems. Its a very pretty town + people are exceptionally kind + hospit-able - only as [I see] no leisure when I can return hospitality, that too, has its un-comfortable side. There are serious [problemm] which were let run some years under Ex-Pres. Hutchins, until its most difficult to make up [lost] ground - the student body have the upper hand in an unfortunate [tague-mere even] more than girls, tho' both are [Reist] together. Altho [Swak] night + day, [Sundays] - as hard as my hardest in the League all thotime! - I'm not sure I am achieving - or preparing to achieve! - anything sufficiently constructive to pay for what is an exile from all I hold dear - and for hard work which will make me old prematurely - and I'm not sure [were] one whole year will be enough to prove the point definitely. If I can continue only to palliate, I shant be happy! That's the question. Meantime I enjoy the girls tremendously + can't see that they differ in any marked [deque] from a Vassar group! I've been fairly popular until it came to restrictions about going to the Ohio games in Columbus yes-terday - there [main] young women could have [eaten] me, because they were not permitted to go unchaper-oned to unknown hotels, where the boys also [lodged!] They feel competent to meet any situation - then where they are in a bad one they often show no more judgment X nerve than we (who didn't think [sinselers] so capable in our 'teens!) I have a furnished apartment for this one year - convenient, well situ-ated + with ver pretty things in it. After a good deal of readjusting, it's arranged to my liking. Ihave a good part-time maid. I got my own meals + cleaned my own house for three weeks first - with all my new work! I've spoken twice in Detroit + seen Jo Grant + [Mc Seeiu] both times - + Clarissa Fouler once. Neither is an advertise-ment for matrimony, to speak frankly! I could give 10 years to Clarissa - who is very [sweet] - + Jo is a scarecrow! They say her oldest daughter is a beauty, however!

I asked her what she did to people who flunk [quizes]. She said she could not imagine me flunking one, but if I did, she would give me another one, because she would know that there was something the matter. Whereupon she asked me perectly seriously if I got an A in everything last semester! I told her I pleased my family very much by not doing so. She was very much amused. She surely is great. I wish she were not such high and mighty faculty, so that I could get to know her better. I always thought she was young, but I discovered that she graduated from Mt. Holyoke in 1904. Miss Wylie's Freshman English lecture yesterday afternoon on "Reading" was very fine. It's too bad that ou have to wait to be a senior to have her. My medicine tastes exactly like Dr. [Furness's]. Is it the same? I still have some of that left. Dr. B is ordering some Poland water for me. She says this water is all [right] only that it is hard, - but I might as well try the other. The debate victory must have been a great one. The only one of the judges who voted against us wrote on the ballot. "I vote for Colgate, because of its splendid [or atory], but Vassar has the facts." Love, FannieDear Mother, I guess I am starting something new. This is the third time I am ahead of time, three weeks to the day. I am getting [sense] in my old age, and staying in bed today, in spite of the fact that I missed a math quiz. That means two of them to make up! But it is pouring out, and I was afraid to risk it! I will stay in bed till tomorrow morning and at Metcalfe until next Monday. Telegraphing is no longer necessary. You know it did not dawn on me till yesterday that one of the things that may have hurt me was walking the stairs all the time. [We] did not have an elevator boy until Saturday. I wrote to [Gdpa.] last night but I'm afraid he won't get it in time, so I'll telegraph him tomorrow. FrancescaMother Mother

Miss Thallon is back on the job today. I handed in my topic today. I certainly am not feeling decent. Last night I could not make myself go down to dinner, but after resting and half-sleeping for two hours, I felt somewhat better. Otherwise nothing new.

Show moreNovember 2, 1920. Dear Mother, Father, and Pete: I don't know how long my letters will be the next few days as I shall be very busy. I have to finish my history topic, write up the last four chem lectures in a very finished form, and get launched on an English topic before Friday. The worst part of the English work is that I cannot think of anything to take for my topic. Well, Mother, I had a new experience today. Heretofore I have always heard the old man's praises sung by teachers, etc., but today I heard yours. I managed to get up the courage to introduce myself to the rambling genius, otherwise known as Miss Salmon, and I says to her, says I, "Miss Salmon, my mother has been writing to me to introduce myself to you------Do you remember S. H, '99?" And her face lit up immediately so that I knew she was not bluffing. She said, "Do I remember her? How could I forget her? And you are her daughter! Well, I am certainly glad you told me, and when you write to her give her my very best regards, and if she ever comes here to see you, be sure to bring her to see me. But what I find fault with is, 'why did you wait so long in introducing yourself to me?'" I said, "Well, I wondered how you could remember people after so long a time has past since you saw them". She said, "My dear little girl, don't you know that it is only the colorless poeple[sic], those that go along without taking any interest in anything and that contribute nothing, whom one forgets. But your mother was a very bright, interesting, lively, wide-awake young woman, who was distinctly worth knowing and remembering". !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope that will bring me a drag! I think I shall follow the crowd tonight to Students' and watch the election returns. It only happens once every four years. There is to be a French lecture of some sort eitheth hour. I am going and I'll know more about it after I have been there. We spent the hour in History this morning discussing the value of a protest vote. Miss Salmon is very strong for it, but I cannot see the great value of it. If it accomplished some positive good it might be worth something. She said among other things that the platform of each of the two big parties devoted about fifty per cent of its space to singing the praises of past administrations, forty-eight to knowing the other party, and two percent to a constructive program for the future; whereas the four small parties devote very little space to knocking and none to history of the past. I said then, that is these small parties had ever had any administrations before they would devote just as much space proportionately to telling about them. The whole class started to laugh, but I cannot see the joke in it. She said perhaps that was so. What's so funny in it?Millsy has another Ec sections now, so I guess that means that we gett someone else. I don't think I told you anything about Sophomore Party. The first act takes place in the garden of the hotel of a European summer-resort. Some Vassar Girlds, who have just seen the battlefields, are talking to some ladies who are guests at the hotel. They tell about college, etc., and that gives a chance for about six different choruses to appear and sing songs about college things. The second act is a party the ladies give the Vassar girls in return for the entertainment they had recieved. In this a lot of the talent of the class in fancing dancing was brought out. There was some wonderful interpretive dancing and some very fine exhibition dancing of modern dances. The choruses were all perfectly trained and very well costumed. It is too bad that you did not see it. After the party there was dancing. I danced off and on for about an hour and did not feel any worse for it. My job that night was to usher at the balcony door where all the faculty and people with guests come in. There were a whole lot of faculty who said good-evening to me, including Prexie--who never would on any other occasion! I was supposed to keep all juniors and seniors out. Some managed to get by the first door, and tried to get by me. Certain committees of juniors are allowed in though, also the Phil fire-captains, and their ranks surely swelled that night. I asked one young lady what class she was, and she said, "Miss Sprague, of the Physical Training Department". I felt like such a nut that I looked three times before asking people what class they were after that. I sent the night-letter, in accordance with your instructions. I am continuing to feel better. I recieved your special, Father, and "contents noted", as Grandpa says. Otherwise nothing new. Love, Fannie Hope your expedition to a little town seventeen miles from Boston is successful, Pete.

Show more-1- October 27, 1921 Dear Mother, Father, and Pete: I feel like a child with a new toy--the address-stamps came today and delighted me. Somehow I always rebel when I have to take time off to address a bunch of envelopes--it seems such a waste of time. I hope you will still claim me as your daughter and sister respectively--I lost my match today. It was a very sad affair. We started out in this manner:--I wond[sic] the firs, lost the second, halved the third, lost the fourth, and then came the fatal happening. The fifth is a short hole down hill, 130 yards. Right in front of the green is a nasty, deep ditch, and all around it on the dar side is an equally nasty sand trap. I hit in the ditch, bounced back on the slope of the ditch, while Lucille's ball went into the sand-trap. I took my niblick and went within a yard and a half of the cup. She got out of the trap on her second, but rolled way off the green into the rough. She played her third out, and was going at a very fast rate, so that she would have rolled to the far side of the green into the trap again, but the caddy, awkward creature, was in the road and ball hit the pin hard and literally went shooting up the pin for about two yards, came down, hit the green and stopped dead a foot from the cup. She said he was sorry, but she acted as though she had not even noticed it; I missed my putt and she holed i, that that we both had four. It didn't occur to me for a while that anyone in tournament would let a thing like that go by without at least an apology. I know that I would have done something about it if I had been in her place. She must have felt funny, because walking over to the tea she said, "We both had four, didn't we?" She knew perfectly well, it is not so hard to keep score on a hundred and thirty yard hole. Well, I never knew I had such a temper. It wasn't that she won the hole, because two down at the end of five, is not hopeless by any such mean, but it was the fact that anyone could be such a poor sport and be so petty about a thing like a college golf tournament. I was boiling within, but thank goodness I said nothing about it and acted as you would say, Mother, "like a lady" throughout the game, which is certainly more than she did. She walked on the green half the time while I was putting, and always walked ahead on the fairway. And she knew that she had no business to, because she is a much more experienced player than I am and has tournament rules down pat. It was my first experience with poor sportsmanship, and it got on my nerves terribly. I didn't play badly, in fact, I played rather well, but she played better. Only when she gets a rotten shot, she is anything but agreeable. I was driving my best, which as you know, if good, but she outdrove me slightly most of the time. But that experience on the fifth hole was my ruination for the afternoon.-2- She beat me five down and four to go. Such is life!--how very philosophical. But I am very disappointed. I feel tonight as though I had flunked ten exams. It is maddening, because I feel that I was defeated not on my golf, but on me "feelings". I never knew I could be so indignant--in fact, i never knew that I was at all an emotional crittur. The exasperating thing is that I know I could have beaten the winner of the other match, neither Jean May nor Miss Thallon plays much of a game. I wanted to win this tournament even more than make debate. I saw friend Phyllis in the libe yesterday and had a lengthy confab. She told me among other things that the trouble with both Fran Kellogg and me is that we are both good the day we come out to tryout for the first time, but neither one of us improves noticeably from that day on. I was strongly tempted to tell her that is she and the rest of the valuable committee would one in their lives give some constructive criticism, there might be some chance of our improving, but I exerted that self-control which has been tried a good deal of late, and refrained. But when she told me, that when she sits there and listens to how poorly people meet their opponents' arguments, she feels like getting up and debating herself, I did not use it. She is such a punk debater, but she doesn't know it! So I mentioned decently that sitting and listening is very different from getting up and speaking, and that I knew because I had done a lot of both in intercollegiate last year. She agreed that I was probably right. Then she told me that she had heard an interesting thing the other day. Miss Palmer told someone the other day, and this someone told her, that there are two hundred Jewish girls in the college, that is, girls who are born Jewish by religion. That refers to the cards filled out Freshman year, i guess. I told her that I would very much like to have the figures straight, because I knew there were a great many Jewish girls in college, but I could not believe that there were two hundred. Thereupon we had quite a discussion on the subject, which of course, as always, led to a re-hash of Peabody days. Her statement is a pretty sad statement of fact, I am afraid. I have to debate tomorrow afternoon. Phyll told me that I was sure of making the team--not that I was so good, but that there were none better. She surely has developed an amount of tact and happy mode of expression that is amazing! I have not heard from Margaret yet. Perhaps she changed her mind. A letter to Helen from Marian brought the interesting information from Marian that she is going to the Princeton-Harvard game with Junior Weil and Ruth Gallinger is going down with her to go with her Byron. The next sentence contained the information that she had just gotten some wonderful clothes, a beaver coat, and two new hats. Helen read me the letter, and-3- at this juncture told me to give my love to the two hats if I saw them at Princeton. When I remarked that she could hardly be wearing both, Helen said she would probably be carrying the other one! The letter just oozed with her catty worldliness! Really, i feel very cynical tonight--but I seem particularly impressed with the mean traits in some people's characters. In my "Jewtopia" people aren't going to be like that. Pete, a J topic is a topic for J, which is Nineteenth Century Poetry. The course got that name in prehistoric times when all courses were lettered instead of numbered and it has preserved that appellation in all but catalogue[sic] terminology. I am sorry you were distressed by receiving the books. It seems to me that a twenty-first birthday, even though you boo on a distinction between twenty-first and eighteenth, is worthy of some "lasting token". Of course Harold is guilty. I told him to pump you and let me know what books you considered worth owning, that I had been very stupid in not pumping you before we left home, and that unfortunately I had not followed closely enough the recent historical publications to know just what was worth buying. When I received the letter with the information and the willing offer to buy them, I first tried with no success at Lindmark's, then asked him to attend to it. Siehst du? However, I'm sorry I "distressed" you. Life is too short for that. As to your remark, "you hope I won't be foolish enough to do that again"--do you think I am cracked? One birthday present in one year is quite enough. I hadn't proposed making it a weekly affair--my funds don't reach indefinitely!--Enough of this foolishness. I must back to my J reading. I don't know why you had an intermission in my letters, Mother. I mail them every day in the eight o'clock morning mail. You know Sundays the letters don't go till seven P. M. Perhaps that was the difficulty. I had no letter from you today, Mother. I hope the railroad strike doesn't come to interfere with my week-end. I just had a blow tonight. I missed town Sunday when I went to Philadelphia with you, Mother, and I'll miss it in November again. The provoking thing is that when one goes on a week-end, chapel cuts don't count. It may be interest you to know that I was called upon by a Poughkeepsie-ite just after Yom Kippur and begged to teach Sunday school. i refused at first, because it takes too much time, but on considering the situation, decided that after seeing the pitiable behavior that night, that I could at least try to them manners and as to knowledge, i know that I haven't much, but still I have more then they have. I didn't write you this because I thought you would kid me and say I was just-4- doing it because Pete was. As a matter of fact, i felt a duty--this sounds strange coming from me--to do what I could to ameliorate that awful situation down there. She promised me the oldest kids and promised also to realease[sic] if it was too much of a tax on my time. The pay is two dollars a Sunday, and this was to go to the endowment fund. I must admit I felt very righteous but also unenthusiastic at the prospect. I would have preferred a guarantee of a bath for all of them before school meets! You see what a fine social worker I would make. Well, yesterday she informed me that school will have to meet Sunday mornings, and there I cannot do it, because I know I could not be excused from chapel. Every Christian girl could ask to be excused on the same grounds, and honorable boring ministers would yell at empty pews. So the "ungezonene Juden" know as much now as they would at the end of a year of my valuable instruction. I would like to write about ten more pages as Miss Salmon says, "on the state of the Union" but I haven't the time. Hope you are still improving so rapidly, Papsy. I was wondering today about Thanksgiving. Will you be about ready then for a Nach-Kur in Atlantic or will I be coming home to visit you? Love, Fannie We had a debate Council Meeting last night to vote on the three subjects which we send in to the central council as our suggestions. The three decided were "Federal Supervision of Education", "Freedom of the Philippines", and "The League of Nations". The first is the easiest, the last the right one to have. It is a subject that has been hashed and rehashed, but in reality, when it comes down to facts, people as a whole are very vague about concrete information. I was all for some Japanese and Chinese question myself, but the others were not. Among others suggested what "Federal Ownership of the Coal Mines" and it brought back memories of "years ago".

Show moreOctober 12, 1921 Dear Mother, Father, and Lester: I am glad you sent the cake. Jeannette, who lost twenty pounds this summer through dieting, has consumed about one half of it. I went over to see Miss Ballantine about the gym deficiency yesterday afternoon. Everything has been settled without difficulty. When I wrote this summer and the dean's office sent the word over to her, she was leaving for her sister's funeral and neglected to look the case up. She apologized profusely. When I start gym in November I shall start in a special class, the idea being that she wants me to go it easy at first. When I got back at five o'clock Jeannette was here, so I couldn't finish my history topic. Helen, she, and I went over to the Lodge for dinner, and after dinner Jane Rothschild, and two other Freshmen and I went to Temple. Jane had asked me to go with her, as Freshmen are not allowed to go to town at night without an upper-classman. I certainly felt funny, acting in the capacity of semi-chaperone for them. The other two attached themselves. We got there during the English sermon. One of the nobel officers of the congregation was standing in the vestibule, and he said that the rabbi was talking in English and we had better wait till he was through, but I said that that was the part we came for. So he opened the door and we went in. The rab stopped till we got seated and the whole congregation, without exception, turned around in their seats to see the new arrivals. I have rarely seen anything quite so funny. His sermon was a scream. He was very dramatic, and bellowed in that little room loud enough for New York Carnegie Hall. In the course of his discourse he spoke of the material prosperity of his community, but lamented their lack of real religious feeling. They judge by false standards. For instance, they have their Russian schul, and their Galician schul, and their Roumanian schul, and their German schul. This is a very fine building. This, they tell me, is the German Schul. At that the whole place absolutely burst out laughing. I guess there are perhaps two Germans in the congregation. Then he went on to Dr. Levy's pet criticism. As soon as the service is over, they will smoke cigarettes in the vestibule. No, they won't. This is Yom Kippur. On Yom Kippur they wait till they get to the corner, but next Friday night they will smoke in the vestibule. Then he went on to say that if the calendar is kind and makes a holiday fall on Sunday night they will get Minyan, otherwise they will have to get it at some place of amusement. But the funniest of all was when he spoke of the bitter need of a Talmud Torah, and said that the community was prosperous enough to provide the funds for it. He said, "I ask you, (and this in a very bargaining Jewish tone), is there one millianaire among you--one man worth, say, $900,000? If there is, raise your hand". And one proud mortal raised his hand. Whereupon thepoint was proved that they had the money circulating in the community to [have the school]. He went on to say that he never talks with a manuscript and that he could therefore go on for three or four hours, but would keep the rest of what he had to say for today. I am sorry I missed the beginning--it was worth the price of admission. I forgot another funny part of it. He started sneering at reform. He said that now that their congregation is rather prosperous, they think they have to be reform. And what is reform? First, the men and women sit together. That makes it sociable. Then, a cantor doesn't suit, for they have to have English and English without music is bare, so they get an organ. They can't get a Jewish young lady to come up on the pulpit and sing, so they hire a christian you lady. And lo and behold, the Christian sings "Schma Yisroel' it is no longer "Schma Yisroel'." I wonder if you realize, Father, what a terrible cause you are supporting! It certainly was a rare sermon from beginning to end. After the sermon came endless prayers and cafe-clatsch and getting up and visiting back and forth. I had taken my prayer-book down, and we all read the service in it, to the great curiosity and amusement of our gossiping neighbors. What a terrible impression a service like that would make on an outsider. It surely is religion without spirit. Just what do you make out of a service where a man stands up in the congregation and waves to the noble president on the pulpit that it is time to draw the curtain of the Ark? The rab looked for all the world like a chef in his white cap and coat. Jane and I decided that we were going to the most orthodox congregation today, if that is the reform one, but then we suddenly both thought that on Yom Kippur they take off their shoes, so we decided not to. Perhaps we are wrong about it, but I think not. Henrietta Butler went home last Sunday. She has withdrawn from college. I think she is one grand fool. to do that her Senior year. I just saw in the Miscellany today that inter-class debate is the twelfth of November. That is very early compared with last year. If I make the team, Pete, there will be no leaving college that week-end. More tomorrow. Love, Fannie

She was exceedingly funny, but in spite of that we have to write up her lecture. The Seniors beat the Freshmen in the final hockey game of the season. After the hockey game Josephine Marle and I called on Mlle. Champy. She is the other Freshman in the class. The boss insisted on talking English. She said she would have preferred coming as a student, but she took what she got. I guess she cannot be very old. She was quite interesting, also amusing. That is one call off the list. My telescope came with two large cracks in it. It striked me that that is rather early in the game for anything like that to happen. If I have time this afternoon I'll take it into Lucky's and see about it. I don't know if we have to work over Thanksgiving--I hope not, but I rather imagine we will. Last night I heard a lecture by Dr. S. K. Ratcliffe, London University extension lecturer, on "The New Europe and the Coming International Order." Miss Kitchel strongly recommended it to us. She said he was the best lecturer the college had last year. I was too tired to get all out of it I might have, but even so, I enjoyed it very much. Have you Roosevelt's Letter to his Children", either at home or at Princeton. If so, please bring it to New York or let me know if you haven't got it and I'll buy it. I have to have it to read for outside reading in English. Also, Mother, please bring me some stockings to match the light-topped shoes I wore in New York. I'll have to use them Thanksgiving, and I discovered my stockings are all worn out. There is a sign up on the bulletins to lock your valuables over Thanksgiving and take the key with you. Carolyn Fay has been missing stuff. I thought it was very lucky that nothing like that had happened before. Lofe[sic], [Fannie]
