The front of her waist was decorated with crazy shaped jewelry of various sorts, but I was noi suiciently enlightened at the time tc j know that they denoted the fominirt life academic. She was a mighty nice girl. She wasn't afraid to wet her bath- ing suit. She did t mind chasing around in the mud after her own ddler crabs, and, more wonderful still, she wouldn't ' even shudder when they crunched as she ran the hook through them. She was nc stern, analytical, cold blooded thing either. You ought to have heard her yell whenthe sh bit; also, she knew enough when her hand was squeezed to squeeze back. I had a very interesting summer of it. In the course of the sea- son I learned, of course, that she was a Smith girl, just as I learned where she lived and who her folks were and what ; her rst name was and that she wasn't ` engaged to anybody (and never meant to be) and all that sort of thing. The Smith part didn't bother me at all. ] began to feel that she was a type. The higher education was the thing woman had needed all these years to make hex , alittle more rather than a little less than the angels. at A A.

I also had a sneaking idea that perhaps after we had been separated for awhile the girl wouldn't be so all red indierent to personal considerations and my pass- ing tentative expressions of interest in our future existence. I asked her if I could come up to Northampton to see her andlif I couldn't take her to the Yale-Harvard football game at Spring- eld. She fairly grabbed at the chance to go to thegame. She had never been to a Springeld game, she said, except with an Amherst man, and that, of course, didn't count. It would be too awfully jolly for any use to go with a 1 Harvard man. . , ,1 LI__L `I ____I.1 1:1.` L. _. 51.91 V CL \A I-LICII-lo "I suggested that I would like to go over to Northampton a week or two be- fore the game.

In the fullness of elapsed time I don't" mind telling you that I had some pretty denite plans about that visit to North- V ampton.
