Went to “Becky Sharp” beautiful in coloring but not much as to story.   After supper, went to “She Married her Boss” again with Alyce Claire.  Enjoyed it as much as the first time. Saw Bernard today at the P.O.  He is coming over “sometime”!  Had a letter from Mrs. Ruiz and one from Carlsbad.  They want a teacher for the upper grades – I am not so sure I am the one!

Ate dinner at Katy’s with Pete, Velma and Evelyn.  Had a whole trout!  Mmmm!  Went with Mrs. Martens to the dedication of the beautiful gardens of the Presbyterian church at Dexter.  They certainly show time, effort and a knowledge of landscaping – trees, lawns, shrubs, vines and flowers with paths, hedges etc.  Surely enjoyed it – Went to supper at Mrs. Martens but came home right after. Alyce Claire came in about 5:30 from Tatum. Saw Bernard today.  He was in church but he hasn’t come around yet but what peeves me most is that Roberta has probably gone back to Sam Marcos and all I saw of her was to say hello!  Well!   Well!

Shopped and paid bills in the morning. Went to A.A.U.W. Tea at Harriet Poorbaugh’s at three – Mary Ownby went, too.  Had the best time ever helping to serve. Went to Velma’s and ate cider and candy and went at 11 with others to see the Premier of “She Married Her Boss” with Claudette Colbert!  The BEST  ever. Thoroughly enjoyable!   The other’s were Velma, Evelyn, Mrs. Vernon Givan and Vera Dean!  Home at 2 A.M.!!!
