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.

Started and finished “Vinzi” and I started “South of Zero.” We had a thunderstorm. Mama’s mad because I’m not excited over the fact Miss Voltebeck may get her a better job, as she hasn’t yet.
