Dart’s check from the PD was $9.02 this week, meaning he’s making $.56 per hour. He’s quite satisfied with that.

His City Club application came today. Now he just needs to find another “proposer” besides Earle in order to submit the form. He’s pretty impressed with the fee structure;  per quarter membership rates are $1.75 for students, $3.25 for “juniors” up to age 30, and $6.50 for regular members.

He got a 96% on his Spanish test on Monday. They’re getting into some challenging grammar now, so he’ll need to keep up.

While in town today he was able to see an entire six-piece place setting ($24.75, including federal tax) of “Candlelight” and he’s very pleased with the style. It’s neither too heavy, not too light, and the quality seems good. As far as  he’s concerned, that’s a great choice. If Dot sees any she likes better, he’ll be happy to check them out, but he’s all set for “Candlelight.”

Burke came home from Chicago today and they all sat around spinning yarns for a long while. Most of the yarn was spun by Burke because he had lots of stories to tell the family.

He appreciates that Dot sent a lovely card to his family. He always has good intentions about such things, but never seems to carry through with them. He hopes she’ll be the social secretary when they’re married, because she’ll do a much better job than he would.

How nice that Chuckie liked the train pictures. He’ll put together more from his older negatives and send them along when he gets the chance.

For now, his eyes are burning so much they’re beginning to scorch his eyebrows, so he wants to quit writing. He’ll try to do a longer letter tomorrow.
