There are so many rooms that I get lost four or hve times every day. They have a Lost and Found Department, though, so it doesn't matter. The boys laugh at me because my hair is so short. They all wear theirs very long and it is the girls who have theirs cut short. Do you suppose mine would grow faster if I'd rub the back of my head every night with vaseline? Maybefit would get long enough so that grandma could bob it when I come home for Christmas. Yesterday I was supposed to go to grammar class, but I went in the wrong door. I never was in such a terrible place in all my life. There were thousands of snakes in jars-all sizes from angleworms to boa-constrictors. There were terrible animals, too-wild cats, porcu- pines, eagles, squirrels, and everything. I was awfully afraid and I thought I was going to faint, but a little girl with curly hair came and she said, Was there something you wanted? I said, I want to get out of hereln So she showed me where the door was and I ran out as fast as I could. In the hall there was a funny rack with some letters stuck in it. I wondered if there might be one for me so I looked at them all, but I didnt find any with my name. I had just finished when a big man came and said Hello to me. He said it so loudly that I was afraid again and went very fast down the hall. I can't write any more today, mamma, because I must study. Give my love to papa and sister. Don't forget to feed Fido, and take good care of him. Love from your little, Willie. This year he rs a Sophomore and writes Dear Dad Please send me a check for fifty dollars I ve got to have it right away Regards to the family Your son 1 138 cczchfi
