1896.
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
