Shopped with Lavora in the morning.  Have lost my voice so Mr. Williams in the P.J. Drug gave me some pills.   I sent Mary Jo a linen dress.  Borrowed $50.00* and got my knit dress from the P.O. Bought a rose-brown hat to go with it. Alyce Claire and Mary Ormsby left for Tatum just after noon.   At supper saw Laura Moss, Pauline R. Rosawood, D.
