MARCH 7

1939 10:55 It seems as though Tuesdays are always cold... Went to a class finished column (What fellas think of wimmin's clothes) + Read Shakespeare

1940 Thurs 12:15 - I played bridge over at Marg's tonight (They've moved back to 21st again) It was really a relief to be around girls again. Took stuff down to E's.

1941 IS THIS ME OR SOMEONE ELSE STRUGGLING AROUND INSIDE MY SKIN... I WOULDN'T KNOW - TORE (LITERALLY) ALL DAY... TRYOUTS... HOWARDSON TOURNEMENT THAT DAMN WUMKES... SOMEDAY I'M GOING TO -

1942 Sat Hell, here I've wasted practically a whole day mooning like an adolescent... I wish I'd get over it. So what - he didn't call you -You'll live! - Met Jean G. for lunch. Saw D.J. this afternoon. - She's sweet.

1943 SUN 1:45 AND I THOUGHT THIS AFFAIR WOULD BE "Uncomplicated" MIGOSH - BUT HE IS NICE - AND I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT TO MESS UP ANYTHING FOR HIM... WE WENT M. of MA. AND THEN TO Cafe Society Downtown WHICH WAS NO DISAPPOINTMENT. OH + WE WENT TO DINNER, TOO. - AT A NICE PLACE... I HATE HAVING ALL THAT MONEY SPENT ON ME -

MARCH 6

1939 10:40 This can't be me because I feel so well - Someone gently shoved me a few inches forward in the hall I turned around + he walked down the stairs without even looking my way - (It must have been my frilly fresh white blouse) Later I interviewed him for the Mirror... I'm not so afraid of him any more - The Plays even off swell - I'm going to do the rations for the F.B. Banquet again 25th - It would save a lot of problems if I got a date.

1940 Wed. I have suddenly realized it's only 2 weeks until vacation + Chicago (supposedly!) How can I get everything done?

1941 Thursday - And I suddenly realize (like hell - I've been counting the days) its 4 weeks until Easter Vacation + Chicago. Darn, I'd still like to put on the Terrible Mech, too. - I'd have to re-write THAT - worked 8:00-6:30. 8:11:00.

1942 Friday! Civic Music. All I did was sit there + think about Leonard, dammit! Did the patterns over for R.N. Phillips nursery... I'd better put in a hill. We printed Etchings. - Spring today.

1943 1:00 SAT. (I WONDER where LEONARD IS - IF HE'S BEEN ASSIGNED TO A BASE YET)... FIRST BLOW; I WAS READY TO ACCEPT Scholastic, BUT THEY DON'T WANT ME UNTIL MAY 16! - HELL, I WANTED TO START WORK Monday... IT WAS A WET, miserable, HORRIBLE DAY... DIDN'T ANTICIPATE ENJOYING MYSELF, BUT I DID. Jarv + I WENT TO DINNER + a show.

MARCH 5

1939 10:50 I hope I never spend another Sunday like this again! - After this I'm going to Church + do something. I wasted the whole day... the only job I did was washing dishes + my hair - I felt pretty awful about spending another dateless Sunday Evening  - But I'm a fool to mope about it!

1940 Tues - I'm practically incoherent with fatigue - Everyone was mean today - I seem to inspire it - Leonard is the only one.

1941 11:45 I WISH HE WERE AROUND TO WEEP ON THIS YEAR - IF ONLY METAPHORICALLY... LAST NIGHT I WORKED TILL 2:00... TONIGHT I TYPED PART OF IT AFTER DINNER - UNTIL 10:30 + I GOT SCARED BEING IN THE BUILDING ALONE - I MISS MY WALKS - I'M NOIVUS AND PEOPLE ANNOY ME - MOSTLY BLANCHE -

1942 12:00 After all this time Peggy Bell + I finally got together again. She is irrepressible as ever... Told me amazing tale about Bev. Carlson! - My slip kept showing all day. Straightened up around.

1943 12:30 Anyhow, I got my ration book and my check cashed (otherwise I wasted today) Met Peggy after her lesson. We ate at the Automat, dessert at a Petrified Forest Drug Store where the disturbing soda jerk argued with us. Then a horrible man scared me in the subway. Felt neurotic all evening. Stopped at Saint Patrick for Leonard.

MARCH 4

1939 1:45 Talked + talked after playing bridge. Marguerite + I certainly agree... I feel awful. I ate all day.

1940 Monday 12:00 Inevitably - I had a sneaking suspicion there was another quizz due - pretty soon! - 20th!

1941 9:45 Well, I guess I'll have to really start writing... this is the last thing I can think of "to do" - I hope it can produce... It will be just 4 weeks from tonight... (I shudder to think what must take place before then)

1942 11:00 Well, I baffled them I guess. It would have been much more fun if Kraus hadn't let it out of the bag. I wonder what Leonard thought of White Night? I went to looks with Bill, Emil, Wilbur, John K -

1943 12:45 I DIDN'T EVEN MIND GETTING UP THIS MORNING! AND I WAS THERE BEFORE "HERMAN" (HE BOUGHT THE TICKETS FOR NEXT Friday! - joy) FINISHED MY LAY-OUTS, WORKED UNTIL SIX - LIKE THEIR ART dept. HERMAN BOUGHT ME A DRINK ACROSS THE STREET. (JARV CALLED yesterday) DATE W/ H FOR SUNDAY. Mickey AND I SAW SHADOW OF A DOUBT... I HOPE MR. KRIKORIAN CALLS tomorrow!

MARCH 2 and MARCH 3

MARCH 3

1939 11:15 Mother + Dad aren't home yet - It has been snowing + everything is very still this morning - I didn't make my 11:15 class this morning - I drew all day. About 3:30 Del + I went over for coffee (I didn't see Tommy!) + talked for an hour. She worships Eide like I do I think. Mary was over tonight talking about hospital.

1940 - COME FILL THE CUP, + IN THE FIRE OF SPRING

Sunday - Egad, the luxury of a 

- YOUR WINTER GARMENTS DARK PENITENCE FLING

whole day of doing what I want to

this afternoon - I'll last, I guess.

1941 Monday 11 - work - work - work. And none of it means anything! - School till 6:00 - Back from 7:30 until 10:00. When am I going to write those plays? - Anyhow I'm not so bewildered!

1942 3:00 Wrote until 2:30... Don't know if More White is the Essence is good or corny. - We ate over at Eleanor's off her new china.

I'm booshed.

1943 WED 12:00 I think there could be many jobs worse than working up at Scholastic. Swell atmosphere. Mr. Mann (Herman!) took me to lunch. And I also have a date for Lady In the Dark (at long last). He likes my lay-outs, too!

MARCH 2

1939 Thursday 11:30 I just got through writing 5 letters - I feel a little noble (I hope I get 5 answers)

For a woman who was in love a few short weeks ago, I'm out of it (+ in it again) Tommy wore that purpley sweater of his today. He came in to see me

1940 Saturday 1:00 - Will we ever be finished? - I am very much disappointed... terribly disgusted and disappointed

1941 OH GOD, I NAUSEATE MYSELF... WHY DON'T I DO SOMETHING, INSTEAD OF CONTEMPLATE THEM? - DAMN - THINGS GET WAY OUT OF PERSPECTIVE WITH THIS ROTTEN PROCRASTINATION... IF I CAN JUST LIVE THROUGH THIS MONTH!

1942 Good Day - Well, busy anyhow. - Allan Werner + Lass were up from Le Mare... I went to Woman of the Year with Donna + talked at Blackfriar tonight. Bob came home w. me.

1943 TUES 11:30 FIXED ME UP IN GENERAL (BATHED during THE BLACKOUT!) FOR TO WORK TOMORROW AT SCHOLASTIC, FREElance ON A LAY-OUT JOB. MR. ROBINSON PHONED TONIGHT... HAD A dispassionate DAY. WENT TO AGENCY, EASTMAN. MY PICTURES CAME TODAY, finally. NOW IT WILL DO Leonard NO GOOD!

MARCH 1

1939 12:15 Tonight we saw the "Ballet Russe" Maxime and the Con Con were super. I feel very good about nothing in general... (Some of the fellas from school were in the Ballet) - Mother + Dad are still gone... I'll be glad when they are back...

1940 1:30 I know I gave every out-ward appearance of being licked today. For a while I really felt (tonight) I was ready to quit. - But now I know I can do it! - PERSPECTIVE

1941 BOB + LEONARD STAYED MUCH TOO LONG TONIGHT... I COULDN'T BEAR TO MOVE THEM... NOT SITTING NEXT TO LEONARD (DAMN HIM) WOULD HAVE GIVEN ANYTHING, HAD HE KISSED ME TONIGHT... HELL... DIDN'T SEE GRANSKOV... OR SPITZNAGEL...

1942 Well, I actually got a little writing done. Not enough yet to read Wednesday. Everyone was over for dinner. Would like to have had Leonard! - But then - Walked out to school. Moon

1943 12:30 HELL, I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SPOT A PUB. WE DID NOT GO TO Lady in the Dark I FINALLY WALKED OUT ON THE DEAL! - THERE'S ALWAYS A FIRST TIME, I GUESS. Registered w/ LUCY + HAUSNER THIS AFT... GOT 5 BEAUTIFUL FAT LETTERS THIS MORNING!

FEBRUARY 29

1941

1942

1943

FEBRUARY 28

1939 11:15 According to the lecturer I heard tonight, there will not be war. I hope he was right - I went down town this morning; bought some new things (also some pink wool anklets!) Ate lunch w. Eleanor  rehearsal... Found out that 20 is too young for the position at F's rather relieved

1940 12:20 Accomplished little - will this jag ever be over - Not if I don't do something it won't...

1941 FRI. GOT HOME ABOUT 6:30... MARY WAS WITH US FOR DINNER TOO... MOTHER + I TALKED ALONE TOGETHER I PERSUADED HER TO SLEEP WITH ME - THANK GOODNESS.

1942 Sat Ah luxury, no Sat. morning class on accounta L.A.U. - Washed my hair + clothes. Met Eleanor this aft. bought her a pr. of rugs. Went over to Donna's about 10:00.

1943 SUN 12:30 (...I'LL NEVER GO TO CARNEGIE AGAIN UNLESS I HAVE A TICKET!) EVEN TO HEAR THE Don COSSACKS. I WROTE TO SHIRLEY THIS MORNING. I FEEL SORRY FOR HER with ALL THE BOYS LEAVING... I WALKED 80 BLOCKS THIS AFT. OVER TO Evelyn Kilsen's AND BACK SHE WASN'T HOME!

FEBRUARY 27

1939 11:30 This morning Mother left with Dad She will be gone a week. I'll miss her a lot... I cleaned up the house and walked out for my class... Went home with Virginia for lunch. Marvelous baked beans - Went to play pr. twice (Still don't know my lines) to a show. - Heard Agnes Hyde review W.W. Rain tonight + I'm now reading R + J

1940 12:00 Tuesday My suit came today It was really a thrill... (It feels lovely) I meant to go to bed early but I seem out of the habit - Bob, Leonard + I worked tonight.

1941 (It's "better" this year, than it was last...) Well - I'm rarin' to go home tomorrow - I haven't got things ready - I intend to stay up tonight and finish those damn short stories if it kills me! - Bridge Club tonight - food - ugh. Everything I "considered" giving up for Lent has been tasted - Larry + Miriam tried to work on my

1942 Friday Okay, you go home at 11:00 - see if I care (you did trip on the last step, though - ha!) - We went to H.S. Flyin' High Mother had club today. Really rustled around. Bought jonquils. Sweet.

1943 SAT I WAS IN SOME SEMI-PRIVATE WORLD OF MY OWN ALL DAY... NOTHING SEEMS TO touch ME; SOMEHOW... DID MAKE A GOOD IMPRESSION ON THE MR. R. AT SCHOLASTIC, THOUGH. Mr. Steiner CALLED AND SAID HE HAS SOMETHING ELSE LINED UP FOR MY "ABILITY" - WE HAD DINNER AT Madame BONAT'S, I ATE too much, THOUGH... LISTENED TO BIANCA.

FEBRUARY 26

1939 11:20 Somehow, I think I will last through this vague agonizing vacuum of disappointments + responsibilities... I am still glad I am who I am... I still am stupidly optimistic enough to think that I will accomplish 95% of the things that are beginning to bear down... When I am too weak to think that, there's always the coward's way out -

1940 Monday - It would be so swell to have "cartoon" for the Edda - I hope it works out - Went out to school - aw nothing...

1941 11:00 (Rumbahs are certainly go - I can hear all I want of them now - one on now) - Whadaya know? - Actually utilized about every minute today. Gave tests. - Corrected until 6:00... Then from 7:30 until 10:30... Got PAID today - 3 more paychecks - (Then what?) - Lorraine + Alberta helped me they are sweet - 

1942 Thurs Well Eleanor + Philip have been transferred to ADVANCE Missouri. Mother feels terrible - But then maybe they will have to really depend on each other now.

1943 FRI I HAVE an interview tomorrow morning with the PUBLISHER OF SCHOLASTIC. AH DILEMMA... MISS Sacks KEPT MY POEMS (CLARAS) and kodachromes. I HOPE SOMETHING COMES OF IT! SAW Vogue + Glamour - WENT I. MILLER (WHERE I SAW SOME SHOES) MICKY and I SAW G.B. Shaw's MAJOR BARBARA

FEBRUARY 25

1939 12:45 I think I'm out of it now... for a while this day was just pure hell... I can't remember when I've been in such a suicidal mood... I woke up crying - (I kept it up spasmodically)... Sometimes Eleanor hurts me terribly... more so than she means, I'm sure... Tonight I sketched at the school Carnival. Nessa + I "caught up" with each other since

1940 1:15 Howard took me to epoch-al "G.W.T. Wind" - I completely lost myself in it... Marie + I tied for "typical" - She + Wyman will be it. I'll have a hard time keeping it quiet. Wish I could be a combination of Scarlett + Melanie

1941 Dammit - didn't get to go over to Haywarden. However, I was quite content to stay home + knit + talk with Mrs. Reeves - She still hears nothing from Robt. Hope he is okay.

1942 Wed It was Shirley Morgan's Birthday. I went down + bought a cake at Nash. Made coffee in the kitchenette. It was successful. Bill + Leonard helped me w/ the dishes.

1943 THURS (I HOPE MY CARD GOT THERE IN TIME!) WELL I PAID $10 ON AN EIGHTY-SEVEN $ COAT... WOW I'LL HAVE TO GET A JOB now... I'M PRETTY SURE IT'S A GOOD INVESTMENT... INTERVIEWED Mr. Stowell OVER AT ARCH. RECORD, WHO MAY GIVE ME AN in AT Glammer AND VOGUE... I FORGOT TO GET ME RATION-BOOK OF COURSE! - HOPE I CAN STILL MAKE IT. OI, NO MAIL (or male) TODAY. WASHED ME HAIR. TALKED RUSSIAN w/ LIZA

FEBRUARY 24

1939 12:15 I hate to walk home alone at 12 o'clock at night. I was plenty frightened when a sneaky looking coupe cut across the boulevard I hid in a driveway until I thought it had gone... I stayed home from school + read Shakespeare. 

1940 2:30 It's a vicious circle - I can't work during the day on accounta all the interruptions and at night, Howard heckles.

1941 A HELLUVA DAY, if I do say so... But did get a swell letter + etching from Bob - He seems very much adjusted, now. Thank Goodness... GEE, the futility of time - or something. I still believe in TODAY, but still can't speed up my activities to live up to my concept!

1942 Tues - Italian Renaissance in History of Art - What a headache

1943 WED I APPLIED AT RAYMOND LOEWY'S STUDIOS; THERE IS A possibility OF MY DOING SOME MURAL DECORATIONS FOR THEM! (IF I ONLY COULD!) ...MET Elizabeth FRAZER ON FIFTH AVENUE, FUN. LEONARD WRITES HE REPORTS FOR INDUCTION ON MARCH 6TH... WHICH HIT ME HARD, EMIL'S COMING TURNED OUT WELL, HE SAYS... I'M SO DARN GLAD... HAD FURTHER APT. with SCHOLASTIC, WHICH WOULD PAY $40 A WEEK! - Yipes! - WHICH IS darn good

FEBRUARY 23

1939 1:30 Today I applied for my "Social Security" number! - I sold 15 hats + got very tired of standing on my feet. I am thankful today is over! 

1940 10:45 It was foolish of me to be so upset all day... I was afraid to go over to the studio for fear of having to face Howard - Very Silly - 

1941 1:00 Here we go again, boys... Frederic + I saw Philadelphia Story (tres bon) most of the evening I was shy + self conscious + felt I was putting on an act all of the time - But not now, I don't think... ? ? ? 

1942 Mon We're doing etchings in techniques -

1943 TUES YIPES! WOULD I love TO HAVE THAT JOB UP AT THE NEW YORK TIMES, ASSISTANT TO Mr. Krikorian! HE WAS beautiful TO ME; SCHOLASTIC PRESS IS BECKONING. EASTMAN SOUNDS VERY CUT and DRIED, I'M AFRAID... J. WALTER THOMPSON IS OUT, I GUESS - SEEMED TO THINK I'D BE STIFLED... HAD 5 INTERVIEWS TODAY. SAW THE LADY Vanishes + NIGHTTRAIN

FEBRUARY 22

1939 9:45 I'm a little scared, I guess... tomorrow I "try-out" selling hats... first "real" job... I was restless + tired all day... that must have been quite a spill I took... I still feel sort of shaken

1940 4:45 It was rather inevitable, I suppose... In a way, I wish it hadn't happened + " " I'm glad it has... And I though Howard was so unemotional. It does complicate things.

1941 11:45 the happy (?) celibate I... (How do you pronounce that?) Made out test at least. Mrs. Reeves baked buns + cookies... We had "tea" about 4:00 - I typed at school, heard Wagner - wept a little weep. Leonard - Hell.

1942 Sun 12:45 - Donna + I saw the Man Who Came to Dinner even that couldn't take my mind off last night... I wonder if he thought about me...

1943 MON PEGGY + I HAD breakfast IN BED THIS MORNING; QUEL LUXURY!... ELEANOR writes I CAN HAVE A BUYER- DECORATOR job AT Donahue's... Gee, IF THAT HAD ONLY BROKEN BEFORE! I'M UP ON THE ROOF BASKING IN THE SUNLIGHT, HAVING washed MY CLOTHES + AM GOING TO GET CAUGHT UP IN GENERAL... LATER: ALL I DID WAS WRITE Leonard (I HOPE I DIDN'T SAY TOO MUCH) THIS AFT... PEGGY CAME HOME ABOUT 5:00... WE ATE + I IRONED and WROTE LETTERS TONIGHT... PEG CUTTING HER calories

FEBRUARY 21

1939 11:15 I'm just beginning to feel normal again tired + woozy all day... fell down after chapel + feel pretty stiff + bruised... It is icy as glass + cold as heck. I didn't accomplish a thing all day... Kept thinking about Tommy + last night I certainly was a dead beat... Maybe it was all that high powered competition that scared me out.

1940 1:30 - Ugh - I'm booshed - Helped Howard run stuff today - Marvelous Game I didn't even go home for dinner... Bob + I went to the Dance. Bill + L brought me home

1941 According to my horoscope beginning tomorrow new romance comes into my life! - I hope so. This celibacy is getting boring. Not that I haven't enough to do... but the urge to "get away from it all" is strong... Letter from Jo.

1942 Sat 2:45 I can hardly write about this... Seeing + talking with Leonard last week was a satisfaction. But tonight - although we didn't talk at all was certainly more satisfactory. But it makes it even harder now. I can hardly bear being away from him at all. 

(Cleaned up room, etc.)

1943 SUN I FELT unhappy THIS MORNING, STILL... BETTER, AFTER A SHOWER AND SCRAMBLED eggs AT THE DRUGSTORE. JARV and I TOOK A WALK UP RIVERSIDE AND LOOKED AT THE "PRAIRIE STATE" ... IT WAS A GORGEOUS SPRING DAY! THEN WE WALKED DOWN BROADWAY, EATING APPLES; I THINK IT WAS ABOUT THE BEST TIME I'VE HAD WITH HIM - WHICH HE cannot UNDERSTAND (...BOB + PEGGY + I HAD DINNER AT A FUNNY LITTLE PLACE NOT FAR FROM Columbia - THEN TOOK R. HOW'D TO THE TRAIN; PEGGY WAS STURDY.

FEBRUARY 20

1939 Monday 12:15 How many times I've wished for the opportunity I had tonight - a date with Tommy. I don't know what the score is. I wish I had a date alone with him. Then maybe I could figure it out. I don't think I'd be afraid of him anymore! Tonight was a little disappointing. I've had my chance; so what?

1940 11:00 Is this really me? - I'm in bed at this hour. I deliberately stayed home - in spite of cr. wr. class + in spite of the work I had to do! - I hope I'm dev. the transcendental viewpoint.

1941 Thurs. Thank God tomorrow's Friday. Like to be going home, in a way, but plan (at least) on getting more done by staying here... Did not get to go to Elk's dance (Damn Freddie) But enjoyed myself in spite of it over at Marg's + Dorothy's... Popcorn, Fudge, knitting -

1942 Saw Donna Jean... We went for a ride - Ate popcorn - Picked up Bill at Morrell's - Had a coke -

1943 SAT Oh GOD... I THINK I'LL JOIN A NUNNERY... WHY CAN'T I KEEP MY RELATIONSHIPS WITH MEN casual? ...AND WHY MUST Jarv ALWAYS DWELL ON CERTAIN SUBJECTS? WE MET BOB + PEG DOWNTOWN, THEN WANDERED AROUND AIMLESSLY, HAD A BEER, WENT DOWN BY THE RIVER... THE REASON FELT SO SAD WAS BECAUSE I ACHED FOR Leonard. BOB + I MET PEG FOR LUNCH AT THE HEARTHSTONE - HAD FRIED CHICKEN (SCRUMPTIOUS) ...TOOK THE FERRY OUT TO STATEN ISLAND AND SAW THE STATUE of Liberty - THRILL

FEBRUARY 19

1939 Sunday 10:35 Outside, the wind is yelling bloody murder... And I'm still hoping for Spring... Peggy had us over for tea this aft. It was lovely. She + Ginger went back tonight. 

1940 Mon 12:30 - I'm "developing" into a photographer. Ran stuff with Mick today on portraits. To be done over. Saw Peggy for a few minutes. Worked tonight. 

1941 Wed 8:45 Maybe I need a shot in the arm... seems so hard to get anything accomplished. Corrected papers downstairs... talked w/ Mrs R. Doctor ordered our usual nightcap. 

1942 12:00 All Saints for dinner. Roda Meyer is a nice Dutch gal. Very ambitious, and Quaker, too. Like Mike in some respects. Coffee in the drawing Room.

1943 FRI 4:00 A VERY LARGE EVENING indeed... INCLUDED THE RAUCOUS Rockefeller WHERE WE SANG LOUDLY AND LONG... THEN TO THE BARN DOWN IN GREENWICH VILLAGE... WHICH IS A MARVELOUS PLACE... I ONLY GOT TO DANCE ONCE, THOUGH... THEN WITH BOB (THEY PLAYED M SWEET EMB. YOU I PRETENDED I WAS DANCING W. Leonard) THEN, AS WE WERE LEAVING MY DATE HAD A RUN-IN WITH A COAST GUARD Sailor... QUITE EXCITING. WE WENT WITH PEG FOR HER LESSON THIS AFT. I FELT LIKE I WAS BEING CONVOYED W/ 3 ENSIGNS TOWING ME AROUND.

FEBRUARY 18

1939 2:20 - Peggy brought her room mate home with her this week-end. Marguerite had a luncheon for her. Nessa took us to dinner. Afterwards, we went to the show + then to Nessa's On a whole, rather dull, I guess. I've been feeling half wild  - Maybe I'm in love a little + not w/ Gary Cooper, either

1940 Sunday - 3:30 - Egad what a mess - If people weren't swell, I'd certainly be lost! - Leonard + Spence worked on Freshman panels...

1941 Tues Well, I guess the plays are going on the week before Easter... I hope they turn out okay... Hell, don't know when I'll have time to wok. Anymore (oh shut up, you're just lazy-) - Test papers - Short-stories - 

1942 Wednesday - 11:15 It's monotonous, I know. But Leonard seems to be more + more important. Creative writing was fun. Because we sat together + read our dialogue. It's damn cold -

1943 THURS BOB + I WENT TO Carnegie HALL. WE ALL ATE DINNER AT THE AUTOMAT FIRST... THIS MORNING BOB WAS LATE CALLING ME FOR BREAKFAST AND I WAS CONSEQUENTLY LATE ALL DAY... BOTH THE Eastman JOB + THE J. WALTER THOMPSON JOB ARE DEFINITE POSSIBILITIES. (HAVE FURTHER APTS. ) MET LOIS COWAN FOR LUNCH. WE WENT TO Chinatown. Gee - WHAT FOO-YUNG! ... (HAD TO TAKE A CAB!) SULLY GOT ME AN OPENING AT Loewy's!
