Oct. 30 – (Thurs.)
M. [Martha] got rejection slip from P.A., I felt bad for her + blamed myself.
Working in studio on book-like folders for early (1915-16) water-colors, which I intend to use for my diaries too[i].
Ran out of chip-board in mid P.M. Had Art drive me in, to Ailing-Cory + get more. Also got some 30 x 40 mounting board.
Evening – raw and chilly – drizzle and wind from N.E.
Reading a mystery by Agatha Christie. Treats of Tricks girls (13 of them) Pal.
