March 25 Wednesday
Melty today. JW is in
N.Y. (went yesterday) & J.G.
& I are enjoying life in the new quarters. Claude
is about settled, James, his
draughtsman, is simply ecstatic over the offices. Tonight we inspected
Strobel's(Foote's)
&c. & walked down with Strobel. Late supper
again everyone went out tonight. Ned
came up and staid an hour or so & I walked half-way home with her.
March 26 Thursday
Stormy day. Poured all the morning & snowed all the afternoon.
Our offices are pleasanter than ever on dark days, I took Claude's picture (a very "dinky" one) in a
corner of his draughting room, with his sandwich man poster behind him
& some Cherets
in the corner - Venus in his hand & his old French
blouse on! James superintended the
operation. I got a long long letter from Beachlets, telling all about his western experiences
&c. & very entertaining. This noon I walked home, in the
drabbly slush with Mary. Ned met us at
Fitzhugh st. corner. At night (in the snow) I met
Mama at our church and we had
supper together (it was a "sale") and I bought some little things and
talked to Rose Mills and
Hattie Fairchild etc. and when it was time
Mama & I went to the theatre &
saw Margaret Mather (-Pabst) in "Romeo
& Juliet" (with Fred'k Paulding) The lines
they used, the costumes, the "props" & arrangements & most of the
characters were much in- ferior to Julia Marlowe's. Her
"Juliet" was very ranty & much - most - of it I
didn't like at all. Paulding certainly isn't an ideal
Romeo, either. Mercutio people liked - well,
it's
1896.
