 Yes, it was after 5;S0 when we got in this morning. I told Tom if anybody asked us what our income is. we can l cheerfuly answer; 5:30 a. m I ruined 1 my beautiful silver lace gown, and as 1 for my silver slppers-they look like | the wreck of the Hesperus.' I told Tom last night that I was more danced 1 against than dancing, for we were l showed right and left helter-skelter, pell- nell everywhere, and the crowd was so dense I spoiled everything I had on. The scene looked for all the world like | a. Turkish bath Ia Scherherazaoe. Bakst would have reveled in it; blue distance, hung beyond with green shades, white and black nuances and shadows blurring the edges as if done in char | coal
 l And did you ever hear as much noise! l Such a hullabaloo; whistles and horns and -gaws--more than I've ever heard before. Hello central, please don't cut
