Dearest Kitty! Let me get started right away; it’s nice and quiet now.
Father and Mother are out and Margot has gone to play Ping-Pong with some other young people at her friend Trees’s.
I’ve been playing a lot of Ping-Pong myself lately. So much that five of us girls have formed a club.
It’s called “The Little Dipper Minus Two.” A really silly name, but it’s based on a mistake.
We wanted to give our club a special name; and because there were five of us, we came up with the idea of the Little Dipper.
We thought it consisted of five stars, but we turned out to be wrong. It has seven, like the Big Dipper, which explains the “Minus Two.”
Ilse Wagner has a Ping-Pong set, and the Wagners let us play in their big dining room whenever we want.
Since we five Ping-Pong players like ice cream, especially in the summer, and since you get hot playing Ping-Pong,
our games usually end with a visit to the nearest ice-cream parlor that allows Jews: either Oasis or Delphi.
We’ve long since stopped hunting around for our purses or money —
most of the time it’s so busy in Oasis that we manage to find a few generous young men of our acquaintance
