Left Tatum for Brownfield about 5:30 A.M. in a pouring rain – Got to Brownfield, woke up Sam and ate breakfast  Carolyn Bradley was with Alyce Claire, Joyce and me on the trip.  Finished breakfast dishes and departed for Lubbock, Saw Royal Ferguson on the way.  Got to Lubbock about eleven. Shopped a great deal – Joyce went to see her doctor and we shopped some more.  I tried on a black Chinese coolie hat trimmed in red but didn’t buy – Instead I bought a pink sweater, white hat, white purse, many gloves – Alyce Claire got a melon and blue outfit- Joyce yellow outfit and Carolyn just a few scattered things like me!  After supper we went to Ruby and Viola Sides – Played Bridge.  Royal was there – Cut up and had fun until time for the midnight matinee when we saw The Country Doctor  with the Dionne Quinns.  Very Good – Went back to Ruby and Viola’s  for more Bridge.  Ate Breakfast about four A.M. and soon left for Tatum.   Arrived Tatum a little after 6 our time.  Went to bed immediately.
