Mrs. Haldeman took Mary and I through Streletz house. Gorgeous.

Almost finished my Express and parcel post cards. At 12 I ask Bill if I should quit and he said okay if I was going home. Got in on the bus at 2:30. Daddy and Mary were making sausage. They bought a whole hog from Uncle John’s last night. The refrigerator is full. Uptown and got a formal. It has long sleeves. I hope that’s okay. Mary took me to the Palace. George Raft and Carole Lombard “Rhumba”- “Horse Feathers” Four Marx Brothers.

Have to work tomorrow so I’m not going home tonight.
Davis’s wouldn’t let Wally come down. He called so now I’m getting to take a walk with him.
That will surely let them have their living room. He was only down Wednesday of this week. And when he’s the only vice I have I think I might have a few privileges.
