 more really earnest work than any of
 us We play at charity, and she just l digs in and accomplishes things, and l l didn't think there could be a better
 president for the Girls Social Service club than she.
 I hardly know what I will do this summer but I am hoping that it will
 have to do with piney woods and the 1 simple life.
 Wednesday-If I was a little girl-as little as I used to bel think right now, instead of writing furiously away to keep the tears back, I should be face downward on the bed With my head all buried in a pillow crying my heart out. Of course, it's nobody's fault but my own but it does seem
 that my silly old ankle might have turned at any other time in the world but this My suitcases were all packed and my things just ready to take to the train when right in the midst of it, I had to step out of the car the wrong way and then-I actually tainted, thing that I thought l should never be guilty of doing in my life So my trip to Tuscaloosa has faded away In dream, and I have to tell the others good-by and think of the good times they will be having. All of them have promised to write me every day of the world--but knowing the programme that has been arranged l have my doubts about hearing from them at all Emily Ford went down yesterday l and most of the girls will motor down today, though Lenora will stay over | till Friday but the arch dance is to- | night, and when I think of the roseate i plans that were mine, l just have to
 mop the tears away, for they almost
 drown me.
 | There were several beautiful lunch- cons at the club today. and it was | from there that I was coming when l l sprained my ankle. Mrs. Connors gave | the largest of the many, and, as usual | when she entertains the table was eX- | auisitely decorated The sun parlor was
 the scene for this happy affair which
 was planned for Mrs. Jarnagin, who
 was unable to stay for it, and the ta- bles were arranged around the foun- tain which reflected the pastel tinted sweet peas and tulle which stood in
 the center Everything was altogether lovely and I noticed a number of little parties-just groups of golfers who had come in from the course for lunch. In just a few weeks, the golf season will | be in full swing, and the club will be gay each day. We'll, there is nothing to do but to sit
 very still and have my foot weighing
 a ton with all of it's bandages, while | I think and telephone and think again. l I hope somebody finds out pretty soon that I am "ill" for. flowers would help l some.
 | Thursday-Another day as uneventful as 1 I like those in spring to be- But my heart | is all reconcied to staying at home, for l I awolle this morning in a perfect garden | of bloom, and I have been living ever | since on the assurance that just because
 have to sit up with my foot in front l of me doesn't mean that l am forgotten. l Then my ankle isn't sprained-only strained, but mustn't walk on it yet awhile,
 the doctor says. I had loads of fun this morning, being helped, like a crippled | soldier to the car and taken downtown
 to the committee meeting.
 l All of Leonora's decoration committee met up at Lovemans-at least, all that were in town-and learned to make roses. | There are to be great garlands of them l the most wonderful things-and l am I terribly proud to think that am to take part We went early and stayed late, l but I was glad, for it would never have l done for me to be lonely. Then l | hadn't been home more than an hour l when up came the card of two beautifully | frivolous lawyers, who had dropped In ! to cheer me up, and it was real cheer till dinner time They were perfectly killing l in their attempts, and I think now, more 1 than ever I have marked leaning to- 1 ward the law.
 Tonight mother thought I should rest, 1 so she called up and broke a beautiful | date for me, so here I am all alone at | this hour. It seems quite novel, but quite 1 wonderful for I have time to think. There l are so many things to think about when l YOU just have time. And tonight I will l just have regular thinking spell" May 1 be tomorrow I can walk and be about again. @
 | Friday-I am still at home, but feel 1 awfully refreshed after all that long rest. l Then had most captivating letter from | the girls this morning. Of course, it most l stirred up the tears again, but then l 1 had fun imagining the good times they | said that they were having. Think of our l little debbies, and just throngs of uni versity men! I just know they are the 1 most popular girls there.
 l Beverly led the senior dance last night 1 with Stewart Coleman, and she must have l been perfect for she wore her exquisite | white taffeta frock embroidered in silver, 1 and then carried Richmond roses, gor- | geous ones that the brilliance of her eyes 1 reflected. Daphne Cunningham and Frank Parham assisted and Miss Cunningham | was lovely thing in blue and rose point | lace with radiance roses.
 l Yesterday aftetrnoon the Phi Kappa l Sigs gave a beautiful dance and it would ! seem that Birmingham girls were the l very belles for there were Elizabeth
 Locke Margaret Moore, Mary Sessions, l Katherine Morrow, Susie Greene Kitty Mccormack. Emily Ford, Beverly Leake, | Gertrude Motion, Ireta McCrossin and | Polly Williams to contest for honors
 Though lots of beautiful girls from all be willing to wager that they cannot be- ! oip tO cOmDare with our girls
