Hungrily your friend,

45 Muscovy Street,
Tuesday, September twenty-second.
About thirty children came. Of course there were more girls than boys (there always are); still, the boys could be discovered without a microscope. Some of the guests were these:
1. Mock Turtle (soup). A boy with green cloth slippers on hands and feet, and a green oval cardboard shield on front and back. He wore green trousers and stockings, green tissue-paper hair, and green goggles.
2. Black Bass. A boy in burnt cork dressed like a negro singer. On a card hung about his neck was drawn a bar of music showing “bass” notes.
3. Duck. A little girl in a white duck dress.
4. Turkey. A boy in a fez and Turkish clothes—orange sash, baggy red jacket and trousers, and pointed shoes. He wore an immense burnt-cork mustache.
5. Game. A girl carried a checker-board under one arm and a pachisi board under the other.
6. Hare. A girl with her “hair” worn long.
