ever since. There has been a good deal of seasickness aboard that even the anti-seasick pills didn't seem to alleviate. Doris and D took a pill apiece one morning early in the game but haven't had any since, and have appeared at all the meals,—except one that I gave up because I wasn't hungry for last night. It just hasn't been very comfortable though, and I shall be glad when we get in. I am sick and tired of being crowded in with so many people, especially in weather when you couldn't sit out because of the dampness. Today the sea is quite calm but there is no sunshine, yet at least. People are beginning to tramp about the decks. I am sitting in some else's chair,—we didn't get chairs this way either, not because of the lack as going over, a lot are not taken going back. $4 seems rather high at this end!

Doris has been enjoying it, according to her, more than going over. A girl whom she met coming over, and she have been going about together.

Last night they stayed up drinking coca cola with some boys the other girl knew till past 11, and Doris felt she was really in it. I have introduced her to an old B.V. man who is Prof of English at Wisconsin. He was in one of Aurrelio's classes and in Horace [[?]] with me and is quite fond of Aurelio. Afterwards he got his PhD at Harvard. He has been over at Oxford attending a congress of teachers of English this summer. He has a daughter with him who is at Mt. Holyoke and another girl just entering [[?]] Radcliffe, so it is interesting to them all.

Thursday night
We have had the only nice day of the trip today when the sun shone all day and the sea was calm. Everyone came to meals and afterwards sat on the deck in the sunshine. We are to breakfast at 6 and dock at 8.30[[?]] tomorrow morning. I hope we get thru customs in time to catch a train from the Grand Central Sta before lunchtime in order to get out to Stoughton before the last train of the day,—the trip to Matterpeen[[?]] seems too hard to think of with all our truck.
