it's the last Sunday here. The time has gone like lightning. Last nigh out fine french play came off. It certainly was a grand success. They had some of the truly loveliest dances in it. Prof. Brac was so tickled he didn't know which end he was standing on. Oh he is such a funny little thing. It wearies me so to try and describe it you will have to wait until I get home. I broke my glasses Friday morning of course. So I think I won't have them fixed

until I get home and go and see if I need new ones if you don't mind. We had a fine sermon this morning from Mr. Van Dyck. I was so surprised to see him. I had remembered him as looking quite different. Didn't he use to have a beard? The College has been just overrun with guests yesterday and today. Did you know that Mrs. Welch and Marian Welch came up yesterday? It was so nice Edith Brooks and Clara Ried both had their mothers up. Wasn't that lovely? They had a

tea for them in the senior parlor. I wish you could see Peggy Jackson. Mr. Billy Phelps said she was the most finished woman debater he had ever heard. And there she was just getting up from the [girppe] to do it and so weak she have to have whiskey to keep her up. Hilda has asked me to stay up to commencement isn't that lovely? I'm so pleased. Oh what will college be like without the seniors next year. It seems so near now. And I don't want to be a sophomore, I don't, I don't. Tonight comes the Easter music. Ruth.

I can't imagine what I would have said about Billy. Edith has a brother named that could it possibly have been about him? I can't think what I could have said about him. Thanks for money. Just came.

Sunday
Dear people:-
Why don't you send any money? I thought you said you had or were going to send some in the next letter. It hasn't got lost has it? I think I can get along with five but if it's perfectly convenient perhaps you had better send ten in case of emergency. Well I suppose Grandpa is with you today. I am so anxious to see how things get along. How will he even get into my bed it slips around so? To think
