Letter from home telling of having “dinner on the grounds” on Sunday for Dad.  Also news of a wire from Jaime that he is all right.  Pay Day so I paid too many bills and I may have to borrow later!  Who cares!  Sent off letter for magazines.  Get “Good Housekeeping” for 3 years and “American Home” for 4 years!  Have decided against the Ins. that Mr. Moen carries.  Saw “Three Kids and a Queen” with Mary Robson but Henry Armetta ought to have gotten more of the credit. He is really good! Wrote to Jaime and home.
