Dearest daddykins
I got your letter this morning. I was awfully glad to hear that the dinner-party went off so well.
I should think it a good thing for you to send me money to last till Dec 20. This is what I shall probably need
Board $63
Laundry 3.50 -- 50 cents per wk
Other money 7.00 -- $1 per wk
“Transportation” 25.00
Sum $98.50 or $100
If this is all right with you I think it the best plan to send a check for $100. As you say, I can deposit part of it with the treasurer of the college, and if I should not use it all, it will simply be part of January’s money. I shall very likely come home on the same train sister came on, and you can ask her about the
expense of the trip.
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.
