Saturday, October 20, 1928

I came to consciousness at quarter to nine this am and I had to be at Ruth’s party at 9:30 and she lives way out at San Jams. I hurried and arrived on time. I played bridge with Lucy & Helen and Ruth and won the prize. My second prize at Bridge. We had a novelty luncheon after which I hurried home again to pack to go to Stotsenburg. During the morning Mom had gotten me a new bra, some stepins, some slippers a new compact and my pants. About 2:30 they came after me. We rode out in Jack’s car with the top down. It was a wonderful trip. We arrived around 6. After ginger ale and cookies we went up to dress for dinner. I wore my new beaded dress. Mrs. Holbrook had a dinner party for Jack. There were fourteen there. It was a lovely dinner. After dinner we played bridge and I held fairly good hands.

Jane’s Notes: Never heard the term “stepins” before. Wonder what that referred to?

  1. Jane, the term step-ins refers to women's underpants. My Aunt Eleanor always called them that. Andrea
