Happy Birthday!

Darling Tafern,

He bought the pink slip, shirt and panties she wore, and the clerk gave him a 38 slip when she should have had a 32. I had to hem it up and take up seams. Then he forgot to wash out her stockings until rather late, and after they were dried I mended a hole in the foot. I ironed two hours, and I guess she did as much, using a gasoline iron that I expected

on side: Thought you might like the scarf to wear at a dance, or use it as an adornment in some play. Mrs. McCord, Mrs. Harry Woodruff's sister, gave it to me. But I've no place to wear it.
