We could not accept. Am lunching with him Wednesday, instead. Is this 'my Oriental.' Nana has been teasing me about? I don't think so. Mr. & Mrs. Verna-Haidus. Both sympathetic & good looking. His face & features almost European. She, quite lovely, liquid dark eyes, made up with 'suma' (powder from India) dimples, charming smile & lovely speaking voice.

Left a 10. Was truly tired & fell asleep as soon as I got to bed.

(Tuesday.)  Wednesday, Dec. 28.

9 AM. Lucy La Maung - posed till 11 - short visit afterwards. 

Afternoon - worked again at drawing & wrote letter home.

Received letter from Rose Vineburg from the hospital & answered it immediately. I had had a premonition that something was wrong with her and am thankful she is home again.

Eve - movie at the swimming club. Screen set up at one side of the pool - showing double image below - Surrealist - good composition just turning subject matter upside down. Lovely, serene landscape. Since one can see the picture both sides - a large group of villagers, children & the chauffeurs were seated on the grass behind the screen. During intermission (called interval, here) people got up to get cool drinks at the bar.

Dinner at home afterwards with Floy & Jack [[Nenimian?]]. He is a geological photographer. Made an appointment with him for Friday morning at 11 to see the land photos he has taken of Ragoon at his laboratory. May be able to use their material as abstract land or earth patterns - the idea I had while flying.

AM - appointment with Bracha Hacohen to help her choose her wardrobe for their visit to China. I shall miss
