 Hllda, everybodys sweetheart
 met us on the street the other day,
 We were very much in a rush and when we saw her wave and heard I that "OO-HOO" she uses that makes everybody turn around and stare at us we tried the old dodge of ap- bearing not to have seen or heard her but she captured us after a short and exciting chase that near ly resulted in our tripping over a baby carriage. We knew by the gllnt in her eye that we were in for 1t and sure enough. she wasn't long in getting started.
 My DEAR, I've been having the MOST EXCITING TIMES lately and last night I went to this MUSICALE and I think I am CUT OUT to be a CRITIC or SOMETHING like THAT because I just simply SAT there and ENJOYED MYSELF from the BEGINNING until I had to leave because we got LAUGHING so. I mean I NEVER have heard such PERFECTLY WONDERFUL music in my LIFE except maybe last SUMMER when the fellow in the next cottage played the TISU- LELE so PERFECTLY WONDER FUL and sang HORSES so that he kept us ALL just SCREAMING.
 Eddie and I went to this MUSI- GALE thing last NIGHT and thought I would be bored to DEATH because everybody was so SCREAM | 1NGLY SOLEMN about it and rustling PROGRAMS and in eve- ming dress and EVERYTHING. We had seats way down FRONT where we could see the SINGERS behind the WINGS. I mean when they weren't SINGING and just STAND ING THERE and making their i MOUTHS go while they were WAITING to come ON. I had the most FUN with this little TENOR with LIGHT HAIR and he kept WAKING FACES while the people were SINGING and I nearly DIED | laughing until the old CRAB In front of us TURNED AROUND and | LOOKED at us and EDDIE said HELLO, FOXY GRANDPA and I | just SCREAMED.
 Eddie doesn't appreciate GOOD MUSIC I think and he said some- thing about the SEATS being HARD and for GODS SAKE let's go to q MOVIE My DEAR. that's all he THINKS ABOUT Is MOVIES, but I told him I ENJOYED the. music and I hadn't had so much FUN in YEARS even the time we ALL threw the DIMES in the | GRIDDLE at the HOT DOG STAND last SUMMER. So Eddie made out he was ASLEEP and made out he was SNORING and just had to LAUGH he looked so FUNNY and the OLD CRAB turned around AGAIN and that made me laugh MORE. Then Eddie drew FUNNY PICTURES on the PRO- GRAM about the hack Of the OLD CPAB'S HEAD and that started me laughing AGAIN and I nearly DIED, my DEAR.
 "Then they had a PIANIST who hal just GOES of HAIR tlrat kept FALLING in his FACE and Eddie said something about a COLLEC- TION 10 get him a HAIRCUT. Ed die is so FUNNY when he says those things and he kept me LAUGHING all the TIME. When the pianist STOPPED Eddie and I CLAPPED and it wasn't REALLY the END. mean he KEPT ON PLAYING after a while and EVERYBODY LOOKED at us and Eddie turned up the COLLAR Of his COAT and s!umped way DOWN in his CHAIR and I started LAUGHING again. Eddie said that it was a GOOD thing that these seats were FREE because they were so HARD he would have asked for his MONEY BACK f they had only cost NICKEL.
 "Then a VIOIINIST came out and played the MOST DIVINE MU- SIC. I mean I nearly CRIED 1t was so PERFECTLY SWEET and Eddie said that he must have COLD to keep the HANDKER- CHIEF under his CHIN like that all the TIME and I pearly DIED 10 keep from SCREAMING. I mean it was a HOWL for Eddie to say something like THAT in the mid dle of such a SOLEMN piece.
 About that time the people In FRONT moved over couple of SEATS and we sat there all ALONE and we got GIGGLING AGAIN and I CHOKED on my HANDKER- CHIEF and I had to so out for some water so we got right up in the middle of a PIECE and the CHAIRS made such a NOISE when they SLAMMED that we both started GIGGLING while we were walking up the AISLE. I'm going AGAIN soon because l think 1t does one GOOD to go to a REFIN- ED MUSICALE like that once in a WHILE. I mean that GOOD MUSIC has a PERFECTLY DIVINE INFLUENCE on me and l feel sorta EXALTED for DAYS after something like that Eddie says he won't go again unless they promise to put CUSHIONS on the SEATS.
 well g'bye. I've simply GOT to RUSH ALONG because I promised to meet DICK at TWO O'CLOCK and I didn't leave the HOUSE un- til HALF PAST"
