and Lena is going with them she is planning now, as she has never been there. While out of work waiting for yarn, I made up the blue pongee skirt with two tucks around the bottom and quite a deep hem and that other affair into a Russian blouse with kimono sleeves, belted down with a narrow belt, about the width of the painted squares, with a tassel of silk [?] of the same color.

The course Lena is taking is given by Prof Charles Twayne Thomas he taught in Newton, Cleveland, and is now on the Atlantic's monthly staff this is his second or third year at Harvard as lecturing Professor. I hope your hires are now better look out for yourself till hot weather is over this is a terrible season I think, Ma
