Dear Miss Blue,

I am so happy to hear about the kittens romping about and loving their new names, not that they had any previous names, only now they are true citizens of the world!  March has many references. In my school long ago we always recited "March Winds and April Showers, Bring Forth the Bright May Flowers." I loved reciting that verse in front of my homeroom class. Everyone loved the verse and on my way home from school, whatever month, I just kept reciting it over and over again.  
I am not surprised that Melba fashioned a Toga to show off in the Ides of March fund raiser.  I imagine Melba hurried to the department store nearest your house to buy the perfect white percale cloth for her lovely Toga (I really had to research Toga-making since I have never seen anyone wearing one - not even on Halloween at a Halloween party.  Of course, wearing a Toga in the chilly month of October would have to be at a Halloween party. Costumes in my day were all about witches and clowns and black cats)

I would love to be able to show a picture of Melba in her fashionable Toga, Miss Blue. It would be Sensational here at the Lanterns. One of my neighbors sews her own clothes and they are very smart and elegant. I'm sure she would be willing to supervise a Toga making class including visits to the Fabric Store close by to buy the just perfect cloth for our Togas.

Sending you love, Miss Blue, and hoping to hear from you soon.

Your Pearl
