Feb. 26th Wednesday
I received "P.P.C." calls at the office & home to-day.
Edith - Ned - Mary - Frank D. &c. J.G. was nice & J.W.
offered me a string of L. tickets (which I took, of course)
and told me to "look out for bunco men"(!). After bidding
good-bye to the "force" I shopped a little with Ned and Edith and then came home & after supper dressed &
packed. Frank Davis came with some
eggs & Mary, before he had gone.
Claude got home from his lesson
about 10 and we started about 10:40. It was a glorious moonlight night -
clear & cold. Our train was on time (11:23) and we had the car to
ourselves with the exception of a single man.
Feb. 27th Thursday
I had lower berth 7 and went to bed soon - & slept tolerably well
as everything was very "comfy". I woke up and looked out to
recognize Catskill, early in the morning - so watched for
"Obercliffe" at
Malden & saw the upper house and the familiar
landmarks of our last summer's drives & visit. Got up about
eight - watched the frozen Hudson & the other things - so
lovely last summer & so gray & cold now. We got to
Weehawken at 10 in a cold fog & so across
the ferry with a group of interesting people in furs - no, only the children were interesting - & pretty. Took
the car across to the Grand Union & found by observation
that walking looked bad. There was evidently snow yesterday, as "chefs"
(that's their costume) were clearing it away. The big Manhattan
Hotel, at 42nd & Madison Ave. is going up
to a tremendous heights & looms over everything. It is right
opposite my window (#384 on Park Ave side - a very
pleasant room, & Claude's right next.)
After getting our rooms we had a very late breakfast (with an undesirable
bride & groom at the next table) & then started out for a walk.
Down B'way. Stopped at
Garrick's & got tickets for Jno.
Drew & at Fifth Ave. & got the last
two $1.50 tickets together for Duse. A long line was waiting.
