LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COLT To ALICE HAMILTON,
CONTINUED

When l reached the part of my
letter where l was telling sou about
my Eden. Alice dear, Jack came home
and asked me TO take him for q drive
in my new car. 1t is a very lovely
one and / am very proud of it, but
more than all the rest am proud Of
the fact that l am able TO drive again
without being at all nervous.
Mother tells me that Karl has
brought you string of real pearls.
She asked me about it, dear, and l
told her TO let him buy them for you
if he wanted to, because | knew that
he looked upon you just as his little
sister and of course we both know
he has much money he doesn't know
what TO do with it. Sometimes il is
more graceful TO accept a gift than
to refuse it.
I'll bet you they don't look as
pretty as that string of beads you
gave men. Sometimes l think it is
all nonsenses to buy real pearls when
you can have mutations that look
as we'll as these lovely ones of mine.
do wish you would try and get
me another string of them and also
| wish you wouldn't be so mysterious
about where yor goa them. would
like 10 give some TO Beatrice Grim
shaw for a wedding present. You
remember l wrote you that l thought
| would divide this string with her
since it is such a long one. You made
such a fuss about it that | decided
not TO. To tell the truth, | have
grown so fond of them that l rather
hated to do it anyway.
SO you think Betty Stokley is go
ing to fall in love with an English
man do you? Don't you do it, my
dear, for when it comes time for you
10 get married there is no man who
is worthy of an American girl but
an American.
