to allow us to go to the play over at Peabody Playhouse on Charles St. We got in just before the last act and it didn't mean much to us. Mrs. Knowles had produced the play and Stanley Thomas was in it. Afterward we all repaired to the Engineer's Club for a sociable time with liquor flowing freely dancing and general hilarity. I had one [[underlined]] swell [[/underlined]] time. Danced with Marie Repetto, who was there with "Rep", clowning as usual. Danced with Mrs. Knowles who had her father and mother there, he a nice looking man and V.P. of New England Power. Marion Goggin wouldn't dance but I had a lot of fun talking to her and met a young friend of hers, a Miss Hinds, who as there with her fiance, Lieut. Foster. Miss Hinds was about the cutest thing I have seen in many moons - dimples in the corners of her mouth that just danced, bright eyes, a pert nose, a pretty little figure. And in spite of Lieut. Foster, Ernie and I danced with her much to our enjoyment and apparently hers. Ernie started drinking again after I had had two and "caught up with him", and he seemed to get right back into the swing of things. I even danced with Miss Cobb, the Information Desk girl on the 13th floor who tries to look like Joan Crawford and is a bit wild and woolly. Neal Donovan had his wife there and a lot of friends who cramped his style slightly. Met Tom Knight, the Will Rogers like V.P. over here, for the first time. Roy Goggin is President of the Club and he was in fine fettle all evening, life of the party. Marie invited me to dinner tomorrow but as Ernie had mentioned the possibility of our doing something together, I had to turn her down. She's a nice girl & Rep a character.
