Mrs. Burgess had supper with us. Her husband was invited too, but he had to go out to their home to take care of a sick youngster in order to let her come in. After supper we all went to the meeting of the Scribblers at the Reid home. Lea Severinghaus read, and the criticism was a good deal freer, so we felt that things were improving and we would stay with the outfit a while longer. last meeting we were quite discouraged, but now we feel hopeful. Dr. Yamei Kim was an interested guest at the meeting. Some of the stuff was very good. Dorothy turned in some New York sketches, and I nothing. Bob Bartlett had a poem that was one of the best of the evening.
