El frfmitobw D iys By EMMA DAWSON Dearest Twin: I wish I were home tonight so we could sit on the front steps in the star light, water the lawn, and talk-the way we did the night before I left to come up here. Ginger, there's so much to tell I don't see how I can write it all, but I'll try, for it will be ages before I will see you again. Dormitory life is going to be interesting, I think. Of course, just at first, I'm a little homesick, but after the mass impres- sion has given way and individuals begin to stand out it'll be different. Just now my first impressions are: Lots of girls and lots of doors, and a gong that announces unknown things at unexpected times. I suppose that in time I'll know most of these girls and what that uproarious gong means. Until that time I'll try very hard to follow your last words of advice-to sit on the lid and laugh, no matter what happens. Your affectionate TWIN. Dearest Twin: I'll have to write like a house a-fire if I get this finished before the lights go out. I could finish it in the morning or even in the bathroom tonight, but I crave to finish it here and now. W Last week was test week and we all showed our ignorance nobly. I say all-to hear them tell about what they thought they'd made, you'd draw that conclusion anyway. Well, last week being test week we decided to go wild and celebrate over the week-end. - Friday night we had a fudge party. Ginger, I wish you could have been there. We laughed and talked and mocked until it was pretty late before we started to make the fudge. Everybody had her own ideas about how to make it, and we all felt free to instruct the other fellow and insist that it be our way. It ought to have been wonderful fudge but before it got c-ooked the lights went out and so we decided to eat it with a spoon. In passing the spoon around in the dark, some- body upset the fudge, and of all the gray messes! It was absolutely too dark and too late to clean it up so we all piled into one little three-quarter bed for the night. I said for the night, not to sleep because that would have been a physical imgossibility, although I did doze off a time or two about day- lig t. Thirtylrhree

Well, the next afternoon we went to movies and ate pop- corn and laughed with the little boys on the front rows. I hope we were not recognized, but I refuse to feel bad if we were! That evening the girls upstairs staged a parade that was a picture for Puck. A little imp in green bloomers -and a red middy who insisted on riding a broom and calling it Spark Plug, pranced until we all got our buzzers rung. Then we trooped down stairs and brazenly inquired if we had a tele- phone call. I'd like to describe some of the other garbs but, you'd have to see 'em to appreciate 'em, and anyway it would- n't do. Remember this is a girls' dormitory. Sunday we went to church. I added that, Ginger, for your particular benefit, but really, we do it occasionally, about once a week. The lights are out and I'm in the after 10:15 study room, and sleepy, so I'll draw this to a close with the usual remind- er that all edible contributions will be greatfully received. Lovingly, your TWIN. Dearest Twin: We're in quarantine! Scarlet fever! One of the girls in our hall has a light case of it and they've quarantined us. I'm truly sorry that she has it, but it's fun for the rest of us. Just think, the rising bell won't mean anything in our young lives for a week! We're trying to be very virtuous and trying to study enough to keep up with our classes, and really I think we're doing nobly. Ginger, I didn't know, half of these girls, that is, to really know them. They're the best bunch of sports on earth. Of course being cooped up for a week within four walls is trying on the best of dispositions, but everyone makes the biggest joke out of it all. They send our meals over from the dining hall and we get it a la cafateria in one of the rooms here. Milk! I never drank so much in my life. I'll wager I'll be broader than I am high when this siege breaks! We had a masquerade party the very first night, and the costumes were original in the extreme. I think the monkey was the best. KA hair rat makes charming chin whiskers for a monkey if you ever feel the need for any.D If the monkey wasn't, then the pirate with clay nose and black eye was. It would have put John Silver, himself, to shame! The matron is adorable to us all and it surely helps. She gave the party. Well, this isn't over yet and if we keep on having as much fun as we have had so far, we'll be absolutely spoiled. Don't get frightened now. There isn't any danger of the rest of us getting scarlet fever. We're getting the very best medical supervision possible, and one grand rebound out of it all. Write to me, tho'. Just because I'm having the time of my life is no sign I don't want to hear from home. Love always, YOUR TWIN. Thirty-Four
