Wore my shirtwaist dress to school. Kids liked it. Grandma bought a midget radio in Horton’s–only $9. It sounds swell and clear. Lily and I too a walk. It’s swell to hear music.

Stayed after school in Art to work on my poster. It’s 5/9 done. We were awfully worried tonight as Mama didn’t get home till 11. She had a permanent. Croquignole–$4.

I finished “Archer and the Prophet” and read “Just Patty” and started “Bob’s Cave Boys.” Mama bought herself a lovely black and white checkered swagger suit and a red satin blouse. Suit $16.95.

Snowed this morning. Miss Rogers gave me a lift yesterday and today. Lily went to Library with me. We went into Northern High for a “reason.” Agnes came in and talked.

Finished button holes today. Wore other dress I made–looks nice. Nettie Kamer got a spiral permanent–$2. She just has waves. It snowed a little, but melted–much colder. Rent is raised to $4,50.
