"House of Rothschild"
“House of Rothschild”

Worked on papers for three hours.   Went to “The House of Rothschild” at night – Almost saw it twice because it was grand!   In the afternoon, took a Circumvalacion bus* to Chapultepec and rode halfway around town.   Got off at bus station and walked around – Caught bus to town in order to get Carsey to the dentist.  Was ten minutes late to the appointment.   I bought a pair of hose and some pictures and met him at the usual place – Went to supper at the Manhattan (no music boo hoo!)   Thence to the show.
