November 29 Sunday

Fair & cold. In the morning I went to the Dentist (Dr. Schultz) & had the last tooth filled - 3rd from last on lower left. have teeth cleaned. Doesn't need to clean them so well. Before that I got all practicing & German done - we had to read 25 pages of it!  In a play in grammar book (One Must Marry) I do 6 pages per day & Mother's help. I got my box of Christmas cards from Carolyn yesterday. ($1.00 for 50 cards - with my name on all - 5 of each kind (10 kinds)). They are pretty, I will use about 25 this Christmas. After lunch Mr. Brown, a man who rides with Dad to work, came over & stayed all afternoon & for supper & after until about 8 or 9. In the afternoon I went & started raking the lawn we were at before. About 3:00 Dolores joined me & we raked until about 5:00. We did all the front lawn but 1 pile - got $1 apiece & we will get 50¢ apiece for back yard. Dolores has over $2.00 now. I had $5.60, & have $6.60 now!

Cloudy & rained a little - sprinkled. In the morning I went to Sunday school, finished homework (theme & German) & did practicing. After lunch after a while, I went over to Dolores's & we went to the lawn & did all around bushes & 1 side (only 1 side - just back to do now!  Side was hard - piles of leaves.) Then Dolores came over & I started to teach her German from my 1st year books mother taught me from. She took it home to study. Then I went to her house to persuade her mother to go with my mother to see "Bambi" tonight at the Buckingham (in Buckingham in Arlington Va.) Then I came home, ate supper, mother went to movies. Washed my hair & went to bed at 9:00. Dolores's mother went with mother. (She liked it too & wanted to go [[crossed out]] agin [[/crossed out]] again. 1st time she had seen movie in 5 or more years!) We were able to persuade her to go. They saw Bambi.
