Stanford grounds are so beautiful now, every turn in the road beside the
stream gives one glimpses of blooming orchards and the lawns are so green
and in many places sprinkled with fallen blossoms.

I must tell you about going to church Good Friday service. Mr. Macy
had asked if he might go with me and he cut a quiz for it and I cut
Shakespeare as he said service was at ten o'clock. We hurried as fast
as we could and found the church empty so thought we had made very quick
time and could stroll around Palo Alto a while - when we came back the
church was still empty but we went in and finally Mr. Peet appeared -
we enquired what time service was to be and he said eleven - which meant
we must cut the last morning class too- This was my Shelley with Prof.
Anderson and I felt queer enough when I thought I was to meet him at 12:30
to go to luncheon with him. But there was nothing to do but stay and
run the risk of not being too late to meet the luncheon engagement -
especially as Mr. Macy is a freshman and I didn't want him to get into
unchurchly ways. To add to my confusion I felt myself not more than
half dressed as I had hurried so and as my shoe had come untied and un-
laced itself down to my ankle which gave me a very dishabile feeling.

What a good time you had in New York and how lovely to see Mrs. Bliss!
Thank you so much for all your trouble in buying such a lovely Santa
Claus box of lovely things. I send by this mail one of the little
pictures Helen and I had taken at Christmas time when the group was taken.
We didn't have very many finished up then but we have a new supply now.

Miriam and Marylyn send love as well as all of Epsilon Chi -

Bye bye
your loving
Rose

I am sorry the pictures couldn't come in time for Easter...
