Dear Judy:
Helen Brooks is taking hold of those fourteen fractious girls in a most
masterly fashion. The job is quite the toughest I had to offer, and she
likes it. I think she is going to be a valuable addition to our staff.
And I forgot to tell you about Punch. When the fire occurred, those two
nice women who kept him all summer were on the point of catching a train
for California--and they simply tucked him under their arms, along
with their luggage, and carried him off. So Punch spends the winter in
Pasadena and I rather fancy he is theirs for good. Do you wonder that I
am in an exalted mood over all these happenings?
