PLACID week, socially speaking, has “Mrs. Bec b passed—some bridal affairs, and the final I blush in my sleep to taink that I should have the audacity to write to a lady in New York, You, living in the midst of effete civilization, scarcely realize what a thrill there is in the word ‘New York’ to us out in Indiana, so far away from things, “The mere sound of the word thrills us, Your letter to the clubs has awakened in us both despair and joy. The knowledge that we will be seen as well as see has come to us like a thunderbolt.
