republican. Sulzer was elected to the Assembly. Isn't that the most amazing situation? It has been a thrilling election, and everybody has been happy about it except Mr. Murphy and especially Mr. McCall. He was eager to be elected so he could stamp upon Pulitzer of the World whom he denounces most ferociously, because the World was making such a stunning campaign against him.

On Election Day P. K, and I took Theodore and Annette and a young girl to South Beach, Staten Island and had a sort of picnic lunch on the beach. It was a heavenly day, balmy and warm. We could not believe that it was November. Afterwards we walked across the Meadows and through the woods to another little place and from there took the trolley past Tante Heidlauff's house. We stopped there to call upon her for a minute and then went on home. It was really quite beautiful, and as I had not been out in the country for two weeks or so and seen anything green, it was especially heavenly. The children seemed to have a very happy time, and Theodore was excited about taking pictures, and we discussed photography and pictures, and what would make a good picture. He wanted an "autumn landscape" and did not know whether this would make a good picture or that, and he was full of questions. Annette went tripping along, happy and gay without asking anything at all, quite serence in her present condition of mind. They are darling children.

I am hoping that Tante Heidlauff will come to lunch with me Wednesday--little Dorothea's birthday by the way--and go to the theatre with me and then spend the night. She has promised to come, if it does not rain or storm, and as it had stormed most viciously the last few days, I hope that it is over and that she will appear.

On Saturday Paderewski is going to play in New York, and I'm going to hear him with some friends.

On Friday I left here and spent the week end with the Weyl's. They have built a perfectly lovely house on the bluff and have a glorious view for miles and miles--as a matter of fact a view in all directions, but over toward the east it is especially glorious--then over toward the northwest is a splendid range of mountaintops. Their house is really terribly attractive, but I won't go into details
