TALLAc House, July 2.
DEAR NErrIE: Well, we are al
here at last, and such a perfect jan
1 never saw before in my life. Yes
terday. the day we got here, abou
Fifty people were turned away AM
l thought for while that father
mother and yself would be obliged
to sleep on the billiard table with ;
Chicago drummer. just think Of
the fright we got before We got oul
rooms. Mr.. Baldwin has beer
| obliged to sleep in a wood shed il
order to make room for his guests.
The only room now left is in the
top of the barn in hay NOW.
At first I didn't think I would
like the Lake, as l would miss the
| surf bathing of Santa Cruz, but
they are putting up bath houses
here bow and Of course every body
viii go in. We girls were talking
the matter over this morning as to
costumes. If people are awfully
proper up here, as I am afraid
they may take notion to be, we
will have to dress in those horrid
baggy things that we used to get
into at Alameda, bnt if the ball is
started with close fitting Costumes,
why of course it will be all the
rage. / want you to send up both
my costumes SO that I can use
whichever comes the handiest.
That wretched old blue flannel af-
fair, big enough for pa, and that
nice little hobby, duck of suit
that fits me SO nicely and only
reaches to the knees. The ether
girls are sending for two suits just
as l am. Miss is here
also from Oakland with her wheezy
old aunt. She's down on the bath
ing question, and I don't wonder.
She gets thinner and sourer every
year. Talk about bean poles You
ought to see her this season and l
hear that Mr.. of Santa
Cruz hasn't yet seat her that en-
gagement ring. He'd be big
fool if he did. Her father has lost
every cent lie had in the north end
and l heard him say last night that
if they didn't strike blue clay in the
cross cut he was gone in. What
ever that means / don't know, but
I guess his finances won't stand
much investigation. The men
up here are rather scarce,
about one to ten girls. This makes
'em feel stuck up and impor ant,
I can't see why a man
should feel SO important when
there is only one OF him. The
most interesting man here is DR..
Hunter, q young ply stefan some
where between 80 and 200 years
old. He takes us round boat
riding and attends to us when we
are sick. Every new girl that comes
here gets malarious so as to have
the Doctor feel her pulse, etc. You
know intimate you feel with man
who feels your pulse and takes an
of your heart beats
Send me up some of those red bugs
your f.ther brought from India,
and I will tell him that they came
from your garden. He will say
that they are new thing in Cali
fornia, and rush RICH: down to find
some more. Then you can meet
MIN. Like all these scientific
chaps he's as innocent as a white
moth.
Judge Healy, a leading Nevada
awyer, is here recupersting. He
knows more poetry than any man
ever saw, except Frank Unger,
md writes sonnets at the rate of
half dozen an hour and scatters
hem like wheat. He can write
as. er than old Yank can tell yarns;
snt we have made o rule not to
allow the Judge to write poetry to
one girl that he has already recitel
% another. He has written hook
IF original poems about the Lake,
md I hear that Lucky Baldwin's
