[[left side page]] [[stamped page number]] 78 [[/stamp]] Trinidad 12. It was not till twelve-thirty that I started home, and when I got here found Ruth had long since finished lunch. Spent the afternoon making cards for the type terms in [[Trizzell ?]]. In the evening we went to the Globe Theatre to see Wm Powell in Private Detective. [[left margin note]] XI-27-35 [[/margin note]] In the morning went down again to see if I couldn't straighten out our mail. I found some out at the College yesterday. The Furness people promised to forward it in the future to this address. (109 Abercromby). The afternoon was spent again on the type terms. In the evening, about 5:30, we were to go to a cocktail party at the Adamson's. Mr. Algernon Wharton, who went with us before to see the boat, came by and drove us out to the College. The assembly included: Mr. & Mrs. Carmichael, Mr. & Mrs. Patterson, Mr & Mrs. Louis Wharton, Mr. & Mrs. Pickles, Mr. & Mrs. [[Silow ?]], Mr. $ Mrs. Phillis, Mr. Bell, Mr. Johnson, Dr. Wardlaw, Mr. Wright, Mrs. Pike, Mr. Jardine. Mr. Pickles is the government entomologist. His specialty is frog-hoppers--Cercopidae. Mr. Bell and Mr. Johnson are students. Dr. Wardlaw is a plant pathologist. Mr. Jardine is the bachelor brother of Mrs. Pike and Mrs. Pickles. [[end page]] [[start right page]] [[stamped page number, upper right]] 79 [[/stamp]] He has been away from home since he was nine. The family lives in the southern part of the island. As they were leaving he got into quite an argument with Mrs. Adamson over the relative cost of living in Trinidad and Honolulu. He has been in Trinidad only a week and was in Honolulu 5 days! Mrs. Adamson has kept house for at least a year in both, but was unable to convince him that she knew anything about it. She said that Honolulu was considerably [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]] more expensive than Berkeley, and Trinidad considerably more than Honolulu. After the party we had dinner with the Adamson's, and then they brought us back to town. [[left margin note]] XI-28-35 [[/margin note]] This morning the McCormack S.S. Co. boat West Ira was due direct from Puerto Rico. I consider her the best chance to bring the motorcycle so I was down at the office early. They had had no news of the vessel, not even of her sailing from Puerto Rico.! Finished working on the type terms. Arranged with Ross' Drug Co. to make some Christmas postcards for us. Used our picture #38 of Les Saintes with the picture of the two of us (taken in Berkeley!) in a circle in one corner. Ordered 6 dozen cards. [[end page]]
