May 22. This is the first real warm day in Paris and I am going to wear a cotton shirt waist this afternoon. The English ladies (Mrs. and Miss Grandayes) Bessie and I spent the whole morning at the Bon Marche, and as Friday is bargain day, we had an opportunity to study all sorts and conditions of women.
