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.  Succeeded in purchasing a beautiful long coat, and expected to pay out $2.00 for one.  The inside is rain proof and handsomer than your black coat and cost the immense sum of $8.00.  It is to have the sleeves shortened and will be delivered to-morrow.  I can boast of having two fine pockets and shall find my rain coat very useful on my journey.

Tomorrow is Bessi's
