Doris is busily sightseeing. She took street cars all around here yesterday. After supper we went to Tivoli,- an amusement park near here, where all sorts of things are, – ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds, band concerts, little lakes with boats, an open air theater, dozens of small attractions, and a concert hall where they are going to give a regular symphony concert at 9 – Doris wanted to stay for that, so we left her & came home to go to bed.
