APRIL 11 Thursday - A grand dinner party with Lachaises & Strands!!! Arthur to Stamford marketing while I brushed up house & made chicken stuffing. Quite a hustle. They here a little after 1 - came by map. Mrs. Lachaise lovely - a wisely amused spirit. Had good cocktails blood orange juice, maraschino & gin. She said best she ever tasted. All fell upon dinner and admired it. Men out on rocks as I assembled it. After dinner we sat around table & there were many funny stories. Then in drawing room. Showed them 6 of my paintings and they said some were "very fine", & Lachaise spoke of their sensitivity which all gave me a great lift. They stayed till 5 P.M. Chauffeur waiting. We loved it - they said they did. [[end page]] [[start page]] Friday. APRIL 12 Mailed Modigliani book to Lachaises as they liked it so much - and we liked them so much.
