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.

Lily came around today–first time. She’s moving Saturday. I went to the library alone. Mama didn’t get her raise and was awfully disappointed. Started “Robin Hollow.”
