[typed] train so took the 6:30. Alice Cowen and Guy Cochran were on it and we had a jolly time coming home. At Palo Alto we found not a carraige as everything was at the university. There had been a great celebration on account of the decision for the suit - processions, honor brigades. Dr. and Mrs Jordan had been met at the 5:30 train by the student body and pulled up to the university - the girls carrying chinese lanterns, and the boys blowing horns and shouting. There was speech-making and bonfires and Dr. Jordan ended with saying that the "doors of Stanford University would never close"----- Ra ra ra Stanford. Today everyone was resting - last night the boys at 12 o'clock painted the station red. A new station is being built on the university side of the tracks, it is not of stone but frame and on the left hand side going to Palo Alto from the university. Mrs. Hazelton was here Tuesday and was very anxious about you as she had not heard since you had reached ... - I gave her your postals and the paper telling of Uncle Lemson's death. Oh, Theodora and I are so obliged for the White syllabi - they are especially helpful to Ora in her thesis. Tomorrow I shall see Prof. Heart againe about the photos. I saw Miss McKinnon in San Jose and she sent you her love and said whe had heard from you. Gertrude wishes to hear from you too. She prizes her dear little tray you gave her so much. She is very well and so is every body. Give warmest love to Aunt Tad and keep a big hug for yourself. I don't have time to discuss lectures with you much.

Your letter was so good. Isn't Aunt Tad An Heiress.'

We have been having extremely warm days - Such warm weather for the latter part of November. I have had to take off my flannels which I had put on quite a while ago but have been perfectly miserable until I got out of them. There is a great deal of trepedations for fear this fine weather forbodes rain for the Thanksgiving football game. I think Rose would very much like to see it but it is quite unnecessary and consequently we will not take it in.

Have not had the first fitting to my collarette yet and thinking it about time I had written to Wallace jugging his memory a bit.

Monday

Theodora has left a sheet for me to fill and she claims to have given out of ideas..for my part I am possessed with one and only one and that is that I am reeling with sleep. Perhaps I can bring my mind under sufficient control to recall the one weekly excitement. I accepted an invitation of the Delta Tau Deltas to a dramatic evening and dance. I had such a funny time. I seemed to monopolize all the engaged or at least very devoted men - My first dance with Guy Cochran while Alice C___ sat it out, refreshments with somebody else who is very attentive to one of the girls, and my last dance and one other with another engaged man. The intermin were danced with various and usndry Taus etc. and the whole evening was one of the funniest medly imaginable. The farce was very cute and pretty as well as a dramatic recital by one of the boys. The Browning class is such a treat, never enjoyed anything more - and I love Prof. Anderson. Last Sunday
