Bibi Clarke and I had a good set this afternoon. She can play mighty good for a woman, and she stands up to 'em every time. Scowling at her over the net only invites the wickedest slog she's capable of, and playing to [[strikethrough]] [[?] [[/strikethrough]] her back hand doesn't fuss her a[[strikethrough]] [[?]] [/[strikethrough]] bit. The ninth game went to deuce at least twenty times, and she got it, too.

Been reading a very enjoyable and amusing book on the States today, - "A little tour in America," by Dean Hole. The Very Rev. was [[strikeout]] a charming writer, and the book is just chockablock with fun. He's got none of that anti-American prejudice in his make up, that so many of his  countrymen are afflicted with.

The book would be still more interesting, I think, if he had left out his few remarks on Episcobalism - the American "Church of England" - for we usually bar those topics on our side. It isn't quite nice to taunt Harvard with "Unitarianism." But the Dean had the disadvantages of a National Church, and that's it.
