3 begin at the beginning. | got into
Boston Thursday. ! had dinner alone
In the imposing dining room OF the
Plaza. Felt wretched over being alone.
Choked down some fish and lettuce and
spent the rest OF the evening in my
room reading "Arrowsmith. ] had al
ready finished "The Constant Nymph"
and @The Little French Girl" on the
trnin. having much time for literature
because of the enforced silence. One
never wants to talk TO the men who
stare. and one can't talk to the men
who don't.
Women are not friendly-at least
nice ones aren't. l slept late the
next morning. walked way down BoyL
ston street to a breakfast lunch at
Murry's. Then down Fremont street
hunting for a package of needles and
spool Of thread-none OF the stores
seem TO have notions departments. But
I did buy a very good looking pearl
pin mot genuinel, and q book By
Anstole France. Penguin Isle
Bruoksie and her fiance who is
brunette and good looking arrived
about 1880 in the evening We all
had dinner together (the erstwhile i'm
posing room having become most
friendly and charming). Then we
left for Bass Rocks near Gloucester
and arrived about u o'clock. Ny
room at the hotel has a funny sloping
roof and it's on the fourth floor, so |
know I'll keep the figure lodging the
ceiling and running M and downstairs.
The hotel is huge and rambling with
many towers and balconies-the good
old fashioned kind, but the air makes
life worth living. We're right by the
sea. We went in bathing this morn
ing-I in a loose rented number. the
purple model and the trunk both be-
ing on the way ] presume and hope.
I had the trunk expressed from Bos-
ton, but TO 20 on with the sea story
the water was icy cold but after the
first shock it was fine.
This afternoon we went to Magnolia
the high muck-a-muck Of all summer
resorts Palm Beach and Coney Island
only. excepted. / INDUCED in a much.
~ needed white felt hat and a pair OF
beach sandals. This evening we mo-
tored to Ipswich in Brooksie's snappy
Packard roadster, and had a lobster
dinner at the Burnham house l had
to be instructed in the assault and
consumption Of Holsters, but ] say
without undue Boosting that did
fairly we'll"
And later: "Brooksie and are 60

putting on a benefit for Bored Fisher
men or something TO that effect. Brook |
sic is going to be the prima donna and |
I'm going to do a Fancy Foz-trot with |
a young man who has white eyebrows |
and big feet but is otherwise quite |
nice. Went into Gloucester last night |
TO see Richard Barthelmess in "Soul |
Fire and incidentally saw two other |
pictures-all for 25 cents. Quite good, |
Ell; There's a charming lady here
who sits at the table next to us-an
artist. She asked me last night il
I'd like 10 pose for her. Of course

I've read one book. Numerous

barked on Harry Hervey's ETHAN

we 20 in bathing every morning and
it's splendid. The regal purple suit
hasn't arrived yet so I'm startling the
natives with my blue one. Personally

brown sandals and an orange bandana.
There's a rift shop in East Gloucester
called the Storage. Just chuck full OF
pottery-qusint plates and so on.
weakened there and got a little collee-
ZION Of breakfast room china-some
very old fashioned and rough looking 1
stuff. Today we went TO the Tea |
Kettle and Tsbby Cat--a tea room
and shop combined"
Evidently Gloucester Is not as sour |
and austere as the name implies. Per |
hans il only sounds forbidding 10 these |
folk who have reed with sympathy Of
that unfortunate gentleman. DR.. Fos-
ter who met with an accident because
OF the Indictment weather in Gloucester.
At any rate San Antonio Is looking
forward with no less enthusiasm than
University social circles for the return
Of the interesting red-haired lady.
