Dear Family:-
Our picnic on Friday was a great success; about twelve of us went, and we climbed up Sunrise, and then built a fire, and slung the coffee pot on a stick across the flame, and broiled our bacon in a [spider], and made our sandwiches, and then “ate hearty.” It was fine, and everybody was so happy. We left there about a quarter past six, and got back to college in time for chapel. We were sights - all covered with dust and brambles, but we covered ourselves up in our capes and

went boldly in. After chapel we trotted home and got presentable, and then went to hear an awfully interesting man - Dr. [Zivemer], who talked on Arabia. He is perfectly fascinating, so straight-forward and practical, and broad-minded. He talked to us a little while afterwards in Senior Parlor, and told us some thrilling stories of the work out there.
Yesterday evening in chapel whom should I see sitting in chapel with Dr. Thelberg, but Carol Barnes! It was simply [fine] to see her, and I played with her a little bit after chapel, and she is coming to lunch Monday - she chose that charming meal herself!

with Miss Taylor now, and if I get my courage up I might even ask her to dinner, - I’m getting that intimate with the alumnae! Bailey Wright, and Debby are here with Carol, too, and Alberta Somebody and somebody else they call “[Pascale].” Jean would probably know them.

plastered up with pictures of Taft and Hughes (I know he isn’t running for President, but there is excitement about him too!). Tell Logan if he gets hold of any funny pictures or placards, or buttons, or anything, to send them along, as they are much in demand.
