conclusion

Mary, Alyce Claire and I went to see a Psycho-Analyst!  Mary heard she was from Oklahoma City.  We asked for two questions for $1.00. She told me that not ever hearing from Carsey was for the best – a conclusion that I had already come to!  She also told me that I would not change in my professions and that next year (1936) I should be changed in my profession to better work or perhaps promoted!  She is a spiritualist and can communicate with the spirit  world .  Had some pictures of spirits with her. The house was gaudily furnished; flowered wallpaper, figured curtains, Indian Rugs, elaborate lampshades and wall hangings and other knick-knacks!  An experience but I really got more from out of Mrs. Marten’s telling my fortune with cards – Agreed to take a S.S. class.

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

memories

Long letter from Ty-Ty in which she names so many activities she has indulged in lately – Also mentioned that dad had a “spell” with his head – couldn’t seem to be able to express himself for several minutes though he preached two good sermons right after it.   His face turned red then white . Something about blood pressure, perhaps! She says not to worry. Took my dress to Mrs. Parker to make and came home by way of Mrs. Little’s .  Told her about the letter from Carlsbad saying they wanted a teacher for the upper grades.  Went to A.A.U.W. and heard Rev. Garcia talk on Mexico – Quite interesting – talked with him and Mrs. Feather during the evening . Heard “La Marimba” tonight for the second time in a week.  The moon would have to be shining in a cloudy sky while I listened to it, with the breeze fairly brisk! What memories it does bring back! My dear!

Here’s what else was happening 80-years-ago today:

Axum fell to the Italians.

Germany’s Naval Gazette revealed that 21 U-boats had already been launched.

Popeye is in color.
