Worked two hours in Junior High Library. Found the check from Jose Alvarez had come in today – Mrs. Grady leaves out with Mrs. McCullough for California for two weeks.  Surely am glad for her sake – Learned how to tell my own fortune but it doesn’t turn out as indicated!  Rode around with Betty and Alyce Claire nearly all afternoon – Bought some cream rouge and Tangee lipstick.  Found out that Miss Perry is to play the organ but if I play to have a hey made.  Dr. L is sure I can practice on it. Talked with Alyce Claire until so late that Miss Schraer tapped on her ceiling!  Shame on us!

Pete and Velma both ate lunch with us this noon. Another bridge lesson, this time at Betty’s – The more I try to learn the more confused I get it seems!  Took Helen Snipes home after sitting downtown with her and watching the world go by – She gave us some verbenas.  Saw Mr. Plyer who said the Mrs would be home from Oklahoma in about two weeks. I’ll be glad to see her.  Saw Mr. Incognito for the first time since spring, he went into Kipling’s!!
