4 tions! Won’t I be gay with dark blue hood to mine & the scarlet & cream trimmings of Nebraska? I’m sure we can give her a good time, even if it is not what she is not used to. The inauguration is the first, so I’ll write her soon & shall look for you any day. The third surprise came after Sara had gotten us a delicious, simple home supper — oh! how good it tasted! She suggested that we go up to see Miss Tilden , & we said we intended to, but it was too early yet. So we unpacked & “fooled around” unsuspiciously until eight o’clock, Sara suggesting innocently once or twice that it was time to go. Her concern was explained when on ringing the Tilden’s bell, who should open the door but Iva Downey ! I thought for a dazed moment that she was helping Miss Tilden house-clean, as I saw no Tilden furniture & the rooms looked a little bare. Then the news was broken with exclamations of surprise & delight on our part, that Miss Tilden had bought a house at St. Anthony Park & had moved! first moving
