We had a wonderful evening in that beautiful hotel, dancing and drinking and smoking. How unlike me! But I loved it. Leaving the hotel still hungry we went to Child's for breakfast and or what have you.
Left the office at 3:30. When I arrived at Wayne Junction, Mother was there to "see me off." She saw Mrs. Willets on the way down who said my paper was fine. (Maybe!) The ride to Washington was very hot and exceedingly dusty. Aunt Lula, Uncle Bell, and Max met me at the station and took me to their apartment in the B(?). We went to the Y.W.C.A for dinner and from there to Evelyn's where I dressed for the evening. Max took me back to town when he took Aunt Lulu and Uncle Bill home. We called for Pike McGuire and his Spanish wife (Mrs. McGuire) and went to the Sh(?) where we met Bailey and Evelyn and Walt and Catherine.

ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
