Mon Mch 25th. Woke feeling very guilty about having talked so about A.P.A. but in the mail was letter from him . meant to be nice but reflecting the tone of the atmoshere he breathes now.. He actually invited me to Green Alley . and has got the little devorcee with Ethel Roosevelt to come to R R for Easter. I am sure he has made her believe that I am coming. Mrs Gardner also.. Could not quite do it without giving me some kind of n invite . but who else would would have thought of inviting Ethel without me..... I wrote an answer that day refusing aimiably enough. I did not feel resentful chiefly because I did not fee much. any way. Nothing from Sl. who he says is to have two or three people at Beauport. I am very glad that my excuse is a real one. I cannot leave my work now and would not even if I wanted to do it. Went out in aft to see the Portrait Ex. and met Tucker there and Dr Dade . Poor show and a stuffy velvet lined place without daylight. Ernesta's head the only thing I sent. Found Clayton Johns when I got back . So pathetic but much better than I feared. Nice talk and hope he will come again. Then Mrs. Low. Din here and sat with Mrs G after . Rather depressing . Tues Mch 26th. Wonderful day .. Mrs K. and reading Dombey . Head had stayed wet and I went right on with it. Just like a Gilbert Stuart I dont mean the pic but her head. Worked till after one and and was dead tired. Long rest and int by a model who almost scared me. T o t red to walk but went in to Mrs Rumsey'd and gossipped Din here and with the Glenny's after . looking at mags. Nice note from Wilkie who has been ill. .. Wrote to him at once. ..
