NOVEMBER 7 SATURDAY

Fair [[strikethrough]] I ets [[/strikethrough]] In the Dolores & I & Mother went to the dentist at the Medical Building in Washington at L and Vermont Ave. She went to her dentist first (to get her teeth straightened - if her mother agrees, he will start soon - will take about 3 years - cost about $350.
Bobby Williams will have hers straightened too - about $400! (hers aren't so bad - just crooked -while Dolores has "buck teeth" & will have t have t upers [[uppers]] out, her jaw is so narrow.))
I have a wonderful new dentist - Dr. [[strikethrough]] D [[/strikethrough]] Schultze - rather old but very gentle - didn't hurt a bit - did 1 tooth - lower right one. 4 more to fill: an appointment next Sat. after that I couldn't eat but we each got a chocolate milk shake - my first  - very good. Then we rode home on bus. In afternoon I went to her house - made a few magazine beads.
