Dear people:-
Well Cora thinks she will probably go home between semesters after all, though it is still undecided ad will probably remain so until the very day. So I don't see but what we shall have to stay so too. I will come if she does, and you can have a little surprise. I don't think I will bring any body home with me and don't care to have any dinners and things. I am
not entirely sure in my mind but what it would be more of a rest for me just to stay here, though sometimes I think it would rest me more to get the change and be at ohm. Certainly it would be nice if it weren't for the railway journey, which is tiresome.
What do you think. I have got $197.20 for college settlements and am going to make it up to 200 tonight. Isn't that nice? I am very much pleased. Besides
this is only the first time around and I am sure we can get more. There are a good many girls I think would give if they were only properly asked. I have had such a time with one of the girls who was collecting for me. She didn't do anything with it at all. It was very provoking. The carnival last night was a great success. It made me wild not to be able to skate. They had gap. lanterns all around the
lake, strung on wires and across the lake in two places. Then at intervals were tremendous bon fires. The girls were all in fancy costume and it was the prettiest sight to see. To see them skating around in time to the music. First they had a grand march and wound all around the lake in fancy figures, after that they danced single or 6 or so together. The shores were lined with people watching. Lucile and I staid out until we
nearly froze and then came in and made ourselves beef tea. Cora had a gorgeous time. The music just carries you away. I had my watch fixed and payed .35 for it. I only got it yesterday so I can't tell yet how it goes. Monday I didn't get this finished yesterday. But will try to now.. I had an unexpected visitor, Mamma, yesterday so I feel fine today. Isn't that pleasing. I made the college settlement up to
200 last night aren't we smart. Well perhaps you would like to here about the Latin exam. I almost died before it was over but managed everything alright except the prose which I am sure I flunked. Everybody else seemed to have too though. It really wasn't so very hard, the exam was as whole I mean. I am glad i is over. Tomorrow come geometry but I am not studying much for that. Miss Hastings came
back this morning from her vacation and we were all very glad to see her. Tonight the seniors are going to serenade Prexi. having finished ethics this morning. I think now Cora will go home next Saturday. Oh I have such a back ache I can't sit up a moment longer.
