Mild and charming day..Spent morn writing and getting my mind made up as to spech for the Alumna of Mich Univrs lunch.  Shant aquit myself very well I guess.  Mis Helen Bacon came for me at I230. To Martinique and found lot of ordinary college type .. Mrs Hewitt appeared ,to my dismay .. only one I had ever seen .One of the principals asked me if I "wrote and wrote and wrote.." and I refused to tell her who I was . When I told her to ask Mrs Hewitt. she procured her who quick as a flash said I was a farmer. Lunch with [[out?]] wine or even white [[rock?]]
Glad I had taken tea befo e I left home.  I staggered through some how .was on left of Jrs Dewey the chief pretem. and had first chance.. A good deal of laughter and applause and was [[p?]] practical. Had to stay and listen to THEcOTHERS but got off finally vowing never ag in.  To the de Coppet's musicale way up to 85 st st alone.  Had begun and I missed one great number .
Sat in back room by the vanSinderin's and Stoyevsky.. Delicious repose and satisfaction.  Tea after but I did not stay long .
then down to the Chumley J nes te dansante for a few moments
Very little time to rest and hardly could get my self off in scarlet to the Gayleys dinner.  Very nice though . Sat betwen Wilkie and Mr Tams . Dr Dade ther and took me for A Repplier.
Wilkie brought nme home in taxi .. came up and stayed smoking til nearly twelve when [[G?]] rushed in and out soon.
Nice to have W. so long.  No time with Jack today.
Got off long list of names for Corcoran invites. and to Leile Mechlin asking her to engage rooms for me.
