Ethelyn Danis and Jean Stevenson came up to visit awhile and invited me and Dit to a luncheon tomorrow at the Grill  Room of the Hilton at 12:30.  Ethelyn arrived from Dallas Sunday or Monday. She is just the same as ever-even with an M.A. She and Jean both walked with Dit tonight for the first time in a long time.  Very confusing letter from Ty-Ty n Mary Jo, Seems I did wrong to buy the blue wool!
