Bought things for breakfast tomorrow.  Saw Lavora for a little while – went to Dr. Eiffert and he extracted the bothersome tooth for $2.00 and some joking.    I like him.   Spent most of the rest of the afternoon with Velma.  Ate supper with her and Pete at the American.  Michelle Patter is in the hospital from an appendectomy.  Saw Pauline and Rosemond just as they were about to leave.  Borrowed Stone’s alarm clock.
