And what do you think we're going to see?Hamlet.Think of that!We studied it for four weeks in Shakespeare class and I know it by heart.
I am so excited over all these prospects that I can scarcely sleep.
Good-bye,Daddy.
This is a very entertaining world.
Yours ever,
Judy
PS.I've just looked at the calendar.It's the 28th.
Another post.
I saw a streetcar conductor today with one brown eye and one blue.Wouldn't he make a nice villain for a detective story?
April 7th
Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,
Mercy!Isn't New York big?Worcester is nothing to it.Do you mean to tell me that you actually live in all that confusion?I don't believe that I shall recover for months from the bewildering effect of two days of it.I can't begin to tell you all the amazing things I've seen;I suppose you know,though,since you live there yourself.
But aren't the streets entertaining?And the people?And the shops?I never saw such lovely things as there are in the windows.It makes you want to devote your life to wearing clothes.
Sallie and Julia and I went shopping together Saturday morning.Julia went into the very most gorgeous place I ever saw,white and gold walls and blue carpets and blue silk curtains and gilt chairs.A perfectly beautiful lady with yellow hair and a long black silk trailing gown came to meet us with a welcoming smile.I thought we were paying a social call,and started to shake hands,but it seems we were only buying hats-at least Julia was.She sat down in front of a mirror and tried on a dozen,each lovelier than the last,and bought the two loveliest of all.
I can't imagine any joy in life greater than sitting down in front of a mirror and buying any hat you choose without having first to consider the price!There's no doubt about it,Daddy;New York would rapidly undermine this fine,stoical character which the John Grier Home so patiently built up.
