This is the first evening for a long while that we have been together alone. I love you, pal. "Yes, dear."

Friendly - rehearsal. Sold thirty more tickets this evening. John escorted me home - a square ahead of me. But we had two dances together and so the mad rush to catch up to you was worthwhile. One little kiss before you left, but a handshake meant so much! An out and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.
School again. I cannot help but think of last winter when you walked home from high school with me every evening - so faithfully. Tonight Brother came for me.
I am crazy about Walt in a sisterly and brotherly way. I love to see Alice and Walt dance together and I am glad they are such fine friends. Didn't we have a fine time last evening. But even so I wanted to be alone with you. I feel that I can hardly wait until I see you again. How can I wait, how can I? My very own. FOOD CLASSIFICATION - II: Carbohydrates: Use in the Body: Supply heat and energy and are stored as fat. They also furnish the bulk necessary to good digestion. Source - Starches in cereals, some vegetables (such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and peas), sugars, and dried fruits. Lester has been here all afternoon. I enjoyed our ride. He seemed right civil today. Everyone says he is crazy about me and that his mother is disappointed because she cannot have me as a daughter-in-law. What will evening bring me? I feel very nervous - as though I want you here and still as though I hate to see you come. I feel that I am awaiting another break between us. Lester - how foolish of me. What a glorious evening. I love you more than ever. I hate to see you dance even with my sister. Walt and Bob seem to take for granted that we belong to each other. Al doesn't and tries to take too many privileges. No cheek to cheek dancing for me - except with you in my own home.
I must congratulate you on making the grade gracefully. Ref. to Sept. 21st.
FOOD CLASSIFICATION - I: Proteins: Use in the Body: Proteins are of the most importance because they repair the tissues of the body. Source - Lean meat, milk, eggs, cheese, fish, dried peas, beans, lentils, nuts and cereals. It is my feminine soul. Virgie seems so happy. I have watched that old house across the street fall almost to pieces. Now it has been rebuilt and tonight - the first time in its life of probably fifty years - it is lighted from top to bottom with electric lights. The proud father - and he is so proud of the home he has made for his wife and child - I have never cared much for children and always thought of a baby as nothing but a nuisance - But Ethel and Evelyn and Virgie all seem so happy. And why does such a nuisance make them so happy? Their lives are not their own - they are one sacrifice after another and they are happy. Love has made me see so much. I could forgive sins now that a year ago I would have called unforgivable. I know now what the love is between my parents. Love has softened my heart and opened my eyes.

But most of all thank God for you and your companionship and the love that has made life worthwhile. I enjoyed the theatre and dancing at the Golden Dragon last evening - at home with you (and Alice and Fred) seemed sweeter. Twelve o'clock and it is Friday, your nineteenth birthday and I was the first to see you, to congratulate you.
DIETETICS - A balanced diet is one that included all the food elements in the right proportion to make the requirements of nutrition. Foods are classified as Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats, Mineral Salts and Water. Why do the boys come to me with their heart problems? Walt says he hasn't yet seen a girl that plays fair. Jimmie says that he hasn't yet found one who is not high hat "and conceited." Dave says they are all exactly alike. What goes for one goes for all. JIm says, "How can I get my girl back?" Walt says, "How can I get a kiss without making her angry?" How am I to know, pray tell - if I am conceited, high hat, - exactly like all the rest never playing fair - then why do they ask me?
"Wider horizons" - crawl into a hole and the top of it will be the smallest of horizons. The broadest and most understanding heart and mind is the one that has reached the highest peak - and commanded a view of the entire universe. Do we Americans think that the globe has only one hemisphere? Is the Great Gallabean* still too big for our small hearts? I am afraid love is selfish; we want to forget that we are social beings!
Among the girls on the office force, opinions seem to be divided on this - is there such a thing as love? *I don't know what this is. A misspelling of an Eastern kingdom? |
