My Dear Eleanor:

sister May,
And eaters royally her own brief sway.
She broiders sunbeams into love-lit
And weaves herself a winding sheet

swansdown and flowers, and ail the
bangles and dangles of a pretentious
wedding. Why do people insist on
reeling: off so much thread at the
start? It must either be laboriously
wound back again or wasted. There
is no use denying it, the extrava

present makes me weary. I long for
the free simplicity of tbe past.
