Felt like the tag-and-go of a misspent life all day.  My cold is worse – Went to Velma’s for music & to practice with Mrs. Martens at one.  I have to play tomorrow of all days! For two cents I wouldn’t do it!  Saw Mrs. Garcia and she came to Mrs. Martens to report the Council meeting at Dallas that she had just come from. Told us of refusal of Catholic Priest to contribute to the order of service to the Mexican column in the Record.   She put in the whole story in today’s paper!

Unlucky day turns out to be fairly Lucky.  Had my eyebrows and lashes dyed.  Loraine Klyng did it for exactly nothing! Lanore came and we went to the games – State tournament is in session.  Came home with Mozelle and Creighton.  Saw several Gallup kids and Mr.  Emery. Saw Mr. Tibbetts from house. Lenora was expecting Addie Jim but she was ill and couldn’t come.  I am still fighting a cold.  Invited to a party at Wolfe’s but didn’t feel equal to it.  Lenore S. went – Had a grand time.
