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.

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.

I went to Mary’s and she was out. So was Lily and I had to take a walk as Grandma went out. Looked at a house on Marston. Finished “Toto and the Gift.” My hair looks lovely–all curls.

Didn’t go out today at all. Dinished “Vaino: A Boy of New Finland,” started and finished “No School Tomorrow” and started “Pot of Gold.” Plucked eyebrows and Mama polished my nails.
