Another cold morning and my cold is just as bad. This morning I was chairman for the Debate. I felt quite important. I sent Connie her invite today. At Physics we had an experiment that took place part of the time in the dark room. Its quite interesting. There are three more experiments that have to be done in the dark room. After lunch I read the new Post. At four thirty I went to Helen’s. Mary Carlson and Myra Belle were there too. We had tea and did a lot of talking and then Myra Belle played the piano for us. I never saw or heard such playing and she plays so much by ear. I had a wonderful time. We left there about 7:15. After supper I read the new Pictorial Review.
Jane's Notes: Post Magazine first appeared on Saturday 25 July 1840, just seven months after the introduction of the Penny Post and was the first publication anywhere in the world to be sent by post — hence its name. It is a magazine aimed at the UK's general insurance industry and is still going. Pictorial Review is a magazine which first appeared in September, 1899. The magazine was originally designed to showcase dress patterns of William Paul Ahnelt's American Fashion Company. By the late 1920s it was one of the largest of the "women's magazines". In June, 1931 it had a circulation of 2,540,000. In 1936, the publisher sold the magazine to its Vice President, Adman George S. Fowler. In 1937 it merged with The Delineator, another women's magazine. Two years later it ceased publication. I presume that all of these magazines must have arrived in the Philippines by boat and probably were somewhat dated by the time Mom had a chance to read them.
