[[left margin]]
I finished chapter 8 in German today- 2 days per chapter + 4 pages reading
[[/left margin]]
 
I got an icecrem so did mabel- I owe her 10¢ I got some good peaches n
Fair. I went to the store in the 
morning. We get up around 7:30
+ go to bed at 9:00. I cut out (of Mrs Barry's "Ladies Home Journal") 
one Jergen's hand Lotion coupon 
to mail when I get back. I cut 
out another from the "Life" I found 
on the train yesterday. In the 
afternoon Mabel + I played
jacks, rode our bikes + dripped 
candles- I am making a blue
one for Mrs. Barry- she leaves
on her vacation Monday. I
got it about 2/3 done. We went to 
5 + 10¢ store + Mabel got a 
pink candle + made one too -
hers is shorter than mine - she
doesn't like making them very
much. Her mother is mad at 
her for not working much - she [[arrow pointing to mother]]
was sick a lot. Then I came
home, ate, fed Bun Bun - I let
him out the cage a bit &
went to bed. I saw Jackie once.

[[strikethrough]] Fair [[/strikethrough]] Rainy. In the morning 
mother + I walked to store, got 
an appointment with a dentist 
there for Mon. and Tue. at 3:00 P.M. 
to fill 6 teeth or less + clean them!!!
In the afternoon Mabel couldn't 
go to the movies with me so I went 
alone + talked to a girl there. It
cost me 11¢!! I was expecting 
to pay 30¢!! It was "Dr. Kildare's 
Victory" (good) + "Sleepytime Gal"
(good-quite) + a cowboy serial 
(lousey). Then I went home
after buying 3 qts milk. -20¢

get any icecream. The way I figured
