rEDNESDAY-Went to Jimmy to Duffy's for lunch and which then see Stage Door, was positively breath-taking. Then drove like all get-out to the Philadelphia, Cricket Marianna Club and to the Virginia tenLarzelere. Most of the people seemed to be around the punch bowl when I got there. Mary Gaylord was milling around very energetically with Libby Brown, informing the crowd as she breezed past that the punch was worth trying. Hebe Bulley was standing around panting for some tennis, but she couldn't find anyone who felt the same way about the whole situation.

HURSDAY-Not a darn thing doing afternoon today. and Went bumped riding into this Janet Bromley and Bill Disston cantering gayly along. Janet looked quite rosy and Bill his usual wile manly self. As for me, I find it easier to write this standing up. Why, oh why do nice eligible boys go tearing off to college all the time? It makes week-days very difficult for us.

Nobody will give 8 party except during week-ends now because they can't get enough boys. From the eighth of September straight through the twenty-sixth was such a wonderful time that I feel like an old pickle-puss now. Believe it or not, I'm positively surly and can't wait until the October Ball on the ninth because it really ought be nifty. Played bridge after lunch, but made a getaway for a large and juicy supper. It's now eleven P.

M. But who wants to go to bed at eleven P. Oh, well RIDAY- Received three invitations today, so things are F' beginning to look up. Somebody said that debs are spoiled darlings. On thinking it over, I quite agree.

Took a long walk in the morning and stopped for a chat with a park guard, who is wondering just how much longer it is going to take the WPA to finish resurfacing a bit of road about the size of a visiting card. It seems they dig it all up one day and smooth it all down the next. Quite a system. Received a note from Anne Knight with many thanks for the flowers and it reminded me of her perfectly divine dance a couple of weeks ago. There is no music like that of the Tophatters.

They just get me all excited. That night everybody was thrilled when Jimmy Bell sang. He really sounds quite professional. Went to Margaret Lawson's tea and for once my life noticed the debutante's dress, which in this case was simply superb. NATURDAY-Went to the PrinceD ton today and nearly game died with of Bob excitement, all of which was quite unnecessary, as I never can decide which place I like better.

We got terrific traffic jam on the into a home and we were so exhaustway ed that we just slinked into the first we came to and Bob proceeded to go to sleep. His idea of holding a lady's interest is absopathetic. Well, I shouldn't criticise, because he has to go back college tomorrow. Now for bed to and a good rest, on account of next week, which is quite a large one!

In every case they display Dame Fashion's most unusual achievements. Miss Mary Langdon Bullitt, one of the most feted of the season's social blossoms, added a pretty note to one receiving party attired in a frock of white crepe de chine, the skirt accordion pleated from waistline to hem.
