Wore my rose suit to school for the first time – Learned by rumor that Mr. Morris and Miss Kenny were let out when Pope was but I will not believe it. Miss Kenny is the best principal in Town and Mr. Morris is still a pretty good teacher.   Bess White told me that.  Bought some music yesterday, so today we took it to Velma’s to try out.  Last night I went with Mr. & Mrs. Martens to see Lily Pons in “I Dream Too Much”  Surely enjoyed it.  She has a lovely clear, bell-like voice.  Wednesday I bought a new white purse!
