It has been a curious evening.
The only costume that fitted me in the barber's emporium was that of a Teddy Bear. I don't mind playing bears with some nice young girls on a winter's evening in England-but it's hardly an ideal costume for the equator. However, I created a good deal of merriment, and won first prize for "brought on board"-an absurd term for a costume hired for the evening. Still as nobody seemed to have the least idea whether they were made or brought, it didn't matter.
