Chapter 69

Dear Daddy Long Legs:
I went back to school, a senior now, and became an editor of the Monthly Magazine.Doesn't it sound improbable that someone of such importance was only a member of John Gorier's Orphanage a few years ago.We can really make a name for ourselves in America!
What is your opinion on this matter?Master Jervie has forwarded me a letter from Rockwillow.He said, I'm sorry, but it's too late for autumn. He accepted the invitation of several friends and planned to go out on a speedboat for fun.Hope I enjoy the country life and have a nice summer.

He knows I'm on vacation at Macbeth's, Julia has told him!You men are not as smart as women in playing tricks.

Julia has a trunk full of beautiful clothes, including a rainbow-colored evening dress that looks like an angel's dress in heaven.I thought my clothes this year were unprecedented (is that the right word?) beautiful.With the help of a common seamstress, I copied all of Mrs. Patterson's dresses, and though I could not make them exactly like the originals, I was as happy as ever before Julia opened the box.But now—I really want to go to Paris.

Dear uncle, are you glad you are not a girl?I think you think it's ridiculous that we make such a fuss about things like clothes.There is no doubt that this is the case.But it's your fault.

Have you ever heard of that learned Professor Hull?He scorned all adornment of women, and advocated that sensible women should wear reasonable and practical clothes.His wife has an easy-going personality, so she accepted his "dressing revolution".But what happened?He eloped with a gorgeously dressed girl.

your forever judy
