to our house yet, I am certain. my tomatoes are coming up after being planted for three weeks. I was afraid the seed was poor, we have not had much sun & in a cold room, they did not have half a chance. Little Betty is going to like dress. did she find the little hankerchief? Pa wanted me to make the pockets I am glad her teeth are through, she is slow in getting them. Tomorrow is a great Irish holiday up in our vacinity. do they have it in Washington? I guess not. darn the Paddies they are growing to feel their importance more & more. Pa listens in to hear their talk every Sunday afternoon. They are too cock sure of themselves, it makes me feel ugly, so I try not to listen. I had a present come from Lena by parcel post, a dress, it has been worn by someone, it is navy blue serge trimmed with a scarlet vest, embroidered in grey with black velvet outside & long sleeves. fits perfectly. it was something Bernice sent and I think, good & warm too.
