I had gotten the St. Joseph lilies
from the alter at church the evening
before that Miss Wakefield so
very kindly offered and you can
picture how pretty each mound
looked with its two stalks of
pure lilys. It is Memorial Day
of course and before we left many
people had begun coming out.
We drove around town in the
same old job fashion and I
had a satisfactory little talk with
Mr. [Gosbey?] - just to let him know
that Theodora had gone to the
University for the summer work
and could be easily reached by
telephone. I like him ever so much
and feel sure he is doing his
level best for the Payne estate.
Of course Theodora has told you

about the day or two here and
calling upon Auntie Carry & Auntie
Sue & Mrs Ballon who are all
well & enquiring about you. The
last commencement days were
full of utmost confusion. The
most delightful thing was the
Promenade concert - the night
was just warm enough - mild
& bright with stars - the dear
quad was outlined with Chinese
lanterns & San Francisco's best
orchestra gave the most beautiful
music near the East entrance -
the whole reminded me more
of the Worlds Fair than anything
else - all of the short arcades
were transformed into pretty booths
where different sets of girls met
their friends & served refreshments. Prof.
