here in Chicago acting in the capacity of hostess more or less have been wishing, in spite of some very happy hours, that Chicago was not quite so great a convention city.

I had a very happy time with Miss Sebbelow who is the secretary of the National Camp Fire Girls' Association. She is a Dane and at the age of sixteen came to Greenland as a teacher and inspector where she worked for three years even though the largest Danish settlement in Greenland consisted of only nine Danes. After her return to Denmark she came to America as a teacher among the Indians and is now as I stated Secretary of the Camp Fire Girls and surely wonderfully qualified for her work. She is very fine I think, and I hope, Dad dear, that you will meet her when you return to New York where her headquarters now are. I had dinner with her last night and we had a good long talk together. I also had some other happy times with Miss Mary Snow who used to be at Pratt Institute and is now supervisor of the Household Arts Department of the public schools of Chicago. She and I both spoke on the cost of living and she was a joy to pisten to I can assure you. I must see that she can talk to our League sometime next winter. She is so full of wit and enthusiasm and such a gracious sense of humor.

It has been piping hot here and sultry and most of the time not a breath stirring.

Lovingly,
