November 11.

It rained again today, something rather unusual for this time of year here, and I had to go by ricksha to all my jobs. Sister Louise had vacation for Armistice Day and spent it with usto our joy. She is surely great, and when I think of having herand Helen both next year it sounds wonderful. Dorothy and Louise felt like hiking so put on old duds and went over to Morrison Street to my tailors where Dorothy is superintending to the making over o my leather coat. We got a golden brown marmot collar for it and with the leather suede side out and dyed brown it looks fine. It is lined with camel hair cloth in yellow.

We had stuffed crabs for supper and after we finished I amused myself drawing faces on the shells Louise was so enamored of hers that she took it home and put it on her desk.

Dorothy and I had tea with Miss James at Tung Fu today. She wanted Dorothy to talk over the work of the Women's College English Department for next term. Dorothy is taking over that job after Christmas as Alnah is leaving to be married. It means about eleven hours a week of classes and a considerable
addition to the family exchequer, and Dorothy wants to do it. I am happy for it will mean that we will be working together on the English work. I shal[[l]] like that very much. We stayed long before the open fire at Tung Fu and talked of many things.

Walking home late and slowly we decided to have supper in my study and eat and work at the same time. So Dorothy fixed a good salad, peanut butter sandwiches, coffee and doughnuts and she wrote lette[[r]]s while I marked out a chart of gradings in English. We are so happy together, and we seem to find life more satisfying all the time.

Dorothy did Christmas shopping this morning and then we had Alice Stryker here for lunch. She is having a bit of a hard time with her family being opposed to the man she wishes to marry and she is low about life in general. I think she enjoyed telling her troubles to Dorothy after I left to go up to an appointment with the President of the Women's College. We had some matters about the English Dept. to discuss.
