Dear Daddy-Long-Legs,

Thank you for permission to visit Julia--I take it that silence
means consent.

Such a social whirl as we\'ve been having! The Founder\'s dance came
last week--this was the first year that any of us could attend;
only upper classmen being allowed.

I invited Jimmie McBride, and Sallie invited his room-mate
at Princeton, who visited them last summer at their camp--an awfully
nice man with red hair--and Julia invited a man from New York,
not very exciting, but socially irreproachable. He is connected
with the De la Mater Chichesters. Perhaps that means something
to you? It doesn\'t illuminate me to any extent.

However--our guests came Friday afternoon in time for tea in the
senior corridor, and then dashed down to the hotel for dinner.
The hotel was so full that they slept in rows on the billiard tables,
they say. Jimmie McBride says that the next time he is bidden
to a social event in this college, he is going to bring one of their
Adirondack tents and pitch it on the campus.

At seven-thirty they came back for the President\'s reception and dance.
Our functions commence early! We had the men\'s cards all made out
ahead of time, and after every dance, we\'d leave them in groups,
under the letter that stood for their names, so that they could be
readily found by their next partners. Jimmie McBride, for example,
would stand patiently under `M\' until he was claimed. (At least,
he ought to have stood patiently, but he kept wandering off
and getting mixed with `R\'s\' and `S\'s\' and all sorts of letters.)
I found him a very difficult guest; he was sulky because he had
only three dances with me. He said he was bashful about dancing
with girls he didn\'t know!

The next morning we had a glee club concert--and who do you think
wrote the funny new song composed for the occasion? It\'s the truth.
She did. Oh, I tell you, Daddy, your little foundling is getting
to be quite a prominent person!

Anyway, our gay two days were gre............
