My cousin Belle, little Ruth, and I went to New Orleans Thursday, her husband came Sat. and we returned Sunday eve, so saw considerable of the gay life, the old French and Spanish quarters and historical points of interest, it really seemed like a city in another country; and were glad to get back to America. Sunday eve.
