Last night he awoke in the night with a chill and he awakened me when he started to pull the blanket, at the foot of the bed, over himself. Most of the morning was taken up with doing odds & ends and about 12 o'clock Mrs Duncan called us on the phone to inquire if we would play bridge with her at the club that afternoon.

From there I walked down to Bennett Brysons to get some sweetened condensed milk for Dick to use with coco malt as he had been complaining of the taste of the boiled milk. I discovered, later on in the day, that half of the unpleasant odor in the shaker was caused by unsatisfactory washing and no scalding. Hence I shall have to scald out the shaker myself every day. These people have no idea of the value of a little hot water.
