quitting to get another job with more money, and I am taking on a student friend of Fu's to help for the present with the extra work of getting the books ready for issuing. Don Tewksbury came over about eleven and we went to the library together, for he is going to take for Yenching many of the back numbers of magazines we take but do not file. We got our business cared for, and then he came home, and I worked around, getting some books moved, and the arrangement more in the order in which I want it, until one, when we all quit and went to our several homes for the day. 

Monday Mr. Ch'en will come down to start work. I went to see him again yesterday and completed our arrangements. 

Dorothy went calling in the afternoon, while I stayed and worked on bibliographies and on some reading for my lectures on Chinese painting. Late in the afternoon I went and got a haircut, then outside of Hatamen to get some Chinese tea. When I came home I started the fire in my samovar, boiled water, blended my tea leaves, and had a little party by myself. 

We had a good supper when Dorothy came home after doing calls on quite a few of the University women, and a few firends, and after supper Tom and Violet came in and we went to a movie. It was not much ^[[of]] of a movie, at least it did not particularly interest us, but after wards we stopped at the Alkazar and danced a little, and then came home to bed. 

The streets today are all hung with flags and Picadilly and Hatamen at decorated with red lantersn at frequent intervals. As we went to the theater tonight we walked up Picadilly and then up Hatamen, and very much enjoyed the spectacle. 

So, then, for this week end. This is the third time I have passed Republic Day in China.
