DADDY-LONG-LEGS (38)

    The girl from Texas is named Leonora Fenton. (Almost as funny as Jerusha isn't it ? ) I like her, but not so much as Sallie McBride ; I shall neverlike anyone so much as Sallie ー except you. I must always like you the best of all, because you're my whole family rolled into one. Leonora and I and twosophomores have walked 'cross country every pleasant day and explored the whole meighborhood,dressedin short skirts and knit jackets and caps, and carrying shinny sticks to whack things with. Once we walked into town ー four miles － and stopped at a restaurant where the college girls go for dinner. Broiled lobster (35 cents ), and for dessert, buckwheat cakes and maple syrup (15 cents ). Nourishing and cheap.

    It was such a Lark ! Especially for me, because it was so awfully different from the asylum ー I feel like an escaped convict every time I leave the campus. Before I though, I started to tell the others what an experience I was having. The cat was almost out of the bag when I grabbed it by its tail and pulled it back. It's awfully hard for me not to tell everything I know. I'm a very confiding soul by nature ; if I didn't have you to tell things to, I burst.
