The strawberries are luscious now.

Saturday, June 2:

This is the day for the big party over at an artist’s studio thru Miss Mullen and Mr. Symons. At 6:30 the whole gang of us who had such good times coming over on the boat met at the Hotel Lotti for Miss Mullen and from there went to Carrol Kelly’s studio for our party.

Miss Mullen has for an assistant a Mlle. Floch. She speaks English very well, but all of the boys were told that she couldn’t in order that they would be compelled to speak French. It was wise. It was much fun listening to the boys try to be polite in French. She’s a very nice girl.

Carrol Kelly is really a wonder. He has a beautiful studio decorated mostly by himself. He draws for magazines and at present is engaged in illustrating two books.

We ate salad and sandwiches, coffee, strawberries and whipped cream. The strawberries are luscious now. Afterward we all sang American songs. Mr. Symons sang with Kelly at the picnic. He has a beautiful baritone voice. Kelly is very good at the piano. At 11 P.M. we disbanded and walked to the hotel. Kelly’s studio is in the Latin Quarter.
