She has beauty as well as brains. Wherever she is, there is a party,
for she is just that kind of a girl, and she has never been known to
miss anybody else's party.

Christmas Day in Mosul was very gay. During dinner a servant
announced that a traveling circus troupe, upon hearing that the village
was very rich, had come to entertain them. "And sure enough, there
they were, all in costume and unloading their baggage, getting ready
to entertain us." After dinner the townspeople came to pay homage
to the visitors, and when the circus troupe had finished, these people
danced their own native dances. When the entertainment was over and
the guests had gone home, the chauffeur's wife presented Dorothy with
a native Turkish woman's costume. She was very anxious to know if
it fitted. She spoke to the cook's wife in her native language who trans-
lated it in Arabic to Dr. Speiser who translated it in English to Dot.
"All in all, we got along great, and the costume does fit," Dot wrote
home.

She has been field director in charge of the excavation of rock shel-
ters. Upon her return to the States in April, she will resume her work
at Trenton Museum.
