Saturday, December 15, 1928

Went downtown again. After much discussion chose a Spanish shawl for my Xmas present. A perfectly beautiful one. Black with soft colored flowers in it. We got a set of crystals for my birthday present because I saw them and liked them and couldn’t wait. A beautiful set, chocker, bracelet, and earrings. In the afternoon went to tea party shower for Frances at Marney’s. Lovely party, played bridge and won for a prize exactly what I gave Fran for a present. A bunch of us decided to go to see the Elks show and sit in nigger heaven. There were nine of us and we found some other people there too. Who’s going to pay six pesos to see an Amateur Review. Not us. But it was very very good.

Jane’s Notes: “Nigger heaven” is an interesting expression. I wonder if it means the balcony.
