Dear Pearl,

How quaint of your father to call the dog Wolf, Pearl.  Did he really guard your toys?  How useful!  Many dogs fritter their lives away being absolutely useless.  Elsie Lavender is visiting for the week with her little dog Jitters. Jitters is absolutely useless.  He is the size of a teapot and everything makes him bark.  Louise is positively livid that she is being asked to prepare mashed peas and poached liver for the tiny beast.  But Elsie is so lovely.  She modeled her latest gown for us yesterday.  It is her newest Claire McCardell.  Absolutely dreamy! If only Jitters would disappear!

I Remain as Always, Your Devoted Miss Blue
