I decided I'd go to bed nice and early tonight but fate?? just wouldn't let me. Rachel came in to see mother before she went to the movies and I in a bright moment suggested that if she'd go to see "Juarez" with Bette Davis, Paul Muni, and Brian Ahearne I'd go with her so she said "All right" and off we went! I though the picture was interesting but I didn't see enough of Bette Davis. She fascinates me. Rachel doesn't like her but admits she's a wonderful actress. I'm getting excited about going to Vermont this weekend. Martha said she might not be able to go and if she doesn't I hope Ginny can.

I didn't feel very well today which isn't unusual for this time of the month. Noa called right after supper and asked me up but I just couldn't make it and she understood perfectly. Shortly after Karin called and wanted me to visit her but I gave her the same reason. I finally settled myself in the big chair with loads of magazines and was nice and comfortable when in walked Karin clad in a new striped blouse and lavender slacks. She looked cute. I gave her the slip I got for her birthday and this time I hope it fits. She didn't stay long but while she was here she said plenty. Latest development in her struggle with Ray's family is quote, 'I don't worry about it any longer - in fact I rather enjoy it-' unquote.

Well this has been a rather full day even if not much has been done or has it... Ginny nearly passed out this morning I hear. Too much riding last night I guess. Kay asked me if I'd like to go to Vermont over the weekend and of course I said yes. A friend of her brother's lives up there and he's going home so he'll have room for three more so Martha Klopp, Kay, and I will go. Hope I can make it now. Ginny and I went to the Strand after work tonight and saw "It's a Wonderful World" with Claudette Calbert and James Stewart - also Charlie Chan picture. Good Show - Home and listened to Fay Bainter in "White Banners" over Lux Radio Theatre. Well that's all -

Ev and I woke up around 9:30 and after we had made up our beds (I should say taken them apart - because that's what we did) and had our breakfasts we made our way toward the beach -- Ginny too. We went out on the flats and waded around for awhile - We went to town for Ev's mother and on the way met Art who turned around and followed us. After dinner we went riding with Art - we did so much riding I began to feel quite sick - Art took us home going over all sorts of country roads - Neither Ginny or I felt like talking and so we just sat there and I was so glad when I finally got home and was able to get to bed!

Ev called me about quarter after nine and told me she'd be up for me in about an hour. So --- I got ready and was waiting for her when she arrived. She came down alone and we drove up to her house where her father was waiting for her. He had to go to Hartford so we went with him. Picked up two of the neighbors kids - Lois and Eleanor. Well when we got back and by the time we finally got started it was almost twelve. Had dinner down there and went to call Ginny but she was eating so we went down to the beach. Art came down with his mother and he joined us as did Ginny later on. After supper Ev and I went to the Clinton Theatre where we saw "Jones Family in Hollywood" and "Unmarried" - Both extremely funny.

Ev said yesterday we might go down the shore tonight but we didn't. I wish we had because it's rather warm but oh well, a night at home won't ruin me. Finished reading "Pitcairn's Island". It was good. Mother treated to ice cream cones - Heavens my diet! I'll never lose any weight and here is Dotty getting thinner by the minute and that goes for Ginny too. Ev wore a new red checked dress with a huge shirt last night and she looked so cute. The whole bunch of them looked cute in fact. Dotty had on a pink blouse and blue pleated skirt I've never seen before - That girl has more clothes -

Ann Anderson's birthday today. She's 25 - I believe. Imagine! It doesn't even seem possible - she doesn't look any older! I bought Karin a satin Barbiz slip and Dot and I got the F.Y.P. present - (Also underwear for her). I had meeting and oh what a hectic time. Karin came for supper and she was worn out and rather discouraged it seems Ray's family doesn't like her after all. She's making him too independent and their afraid the kids will run off and get married. Ray's had a big fuss with his family and even threatened to leave home. Well to get back to meeting - Dot was expecting Irving who was late and Noa didn't feel well and had to lie down and Karin didn't blow out all the birthday candles and between us all things were pretty upset - Irving came for Dot, Sky for Noa, and Ivar for Karin. Ev and Ginny stayed with me for awhile longer.
