grand time

 

Dancing the Virginia reel vintage2068.rssing.com

Had letter from both places in L.A. Matson won’t do.   Lenore came up in P.M. Alyce Claire and I played tennis for over an hour (from 10:30 to 12:15) then found Lenore waiting when we got back.  Shopped a little and watched crowds.  Went to Wolfe’s with Lenore at night.  Played Pitch until 11:00 then they rolled up the rugs and we danced everything.  Virginia Reel, Polka, Watty, Little Shoe, Schotische (?) and had the grandest time this year.   Got home at 1:30. Sam Sherman bumped up against me during the first Virginia Reel and broke my glasses!  More poor luck!
