Tuesday Evening.

Dear Folks:

Both your letters came yesterday so I got Doris's blank filled out and in the box in time for the 8.30 collection last night so she may possibly get it to-night or to-morrow anyway. I hope it was all right.

Isn't it exciting about Central America? She does well though not to get fussed up over it and of course it will be hard for her to leave Chittie just as she is getting started with him unless by chance he should jump at the opportunity thus offered her to collect and study specimens for him.

You certainly have had your hands full this week-end. It is hard on all the Wales and their friends, but of course it is not so sudden a shock as it would have been had he not been ailing for as long as 


also one of the announcements of one millinery opening designed by one of our girls who is now working doing such work at Stearn's for $12.00, I believe.

Miss L. has apparently got enough of her own medicine for yesterday she called me out of Miss Shea's room into the Stock Room and inquired most solicitously about my liking for my work etc. etc. I told her I guessed I was all right. She said that I didn't act so, that she always wanted her teachers to be happy, etc. etc. I don't know what you think but I think that actions speak louder than words. After her nasty actions for about a year now, I think she does well to talk about being happy. The thing is she thinks I am altogether too well satisfied with the sewing and is doing everything she can to get me out of it. I landed her one or two good blows yesterday in meeting and another one to-day. What do you think? The "divil" is in me bigger than a woodchuck I am afraid. It is awfully funny though. It all makes me cross and yet I feel sorry for the sinners I give 'em such awful whoppers when I do lambaste 'em. I guess I need a spring medicine to get it out of my blood.

Lots of love, 
Lena
