serving was so well worked out that the drinks were really ice-cold. It was fun running the assembly line, & the committee was fun to work with. Our Refreshment committee was highly praised by all the faculty at the evaluation session Sat. A.M & by the head of the Basic School in his farewell lecture. He also told us that the Basic Recreation course I have just finished cost them $15.00 for each of us! Glad I got it! 
The suitcase I got is 26 inches long, 16 inches high & 8-1/2 wide. It is fabric, sort of herringbone design bound along the edges with leather. It has 2 locks like the other & elastic pockets on the inside. Its brown. I think I can take it without killing myself.
No, I think you'd better keep the recipe. Be sure to show it to Wil. I wish he'd get here before I go.
I'll be going out to McGarvey's for dinner next Sunday, I think. I'm looking forward to it.
Washington is a good place to get lots of luxury goods we've been out of for months. No wonder they are
