if you could have seen our first written containing a long, hard translation affording unusual scope for vivid imagination, - (the words were all entirely new to the whole class) your sympathy would be unbounded I'm sure.  But the rest of my course worries me not at all.  Cheers!

This week Thursday was Mountain Day and a real holiday for the whole college. The weather man wasn't in the least enthused tho, so we had to forfeit the pleasure of climbing Mt. Tom, To make it a little bit varied we ate luncheon in our rooms, and resorted to the movies in the afternoon. Then about 30 of us took tea at Ye Rosetree Inn, a quaint, little one-storied affair, managed by a still more unique proprietress named Mde de Naucaze.  The latter fame is simply rabid on the Kaiser, and she publicly expresses her sentiments on queer signs which she posts up at frequent intervals! It goes without saying that she caters to Smith girls and Amherst men, or she might get into serious trouble. The Madame is a curiosity tho, and interesting as a character. The food she serves is excellent and I enjoy going there  - um-m three times this week. Ruth you must stop such extravagance! Oh well! When you see it you won't blame me. Good-night Ray. Lovingly, Ruth xxxxxx
