Entries for March 10, 1911 and 2011

Rita's Entry: Friday, March 10, 1911
Mary here until about 10:30.  Therefore, no work done.  Went to Art Institute at 11:30 for lunch with Fran and Lucina.  They went with me to Lyon & Healy where I met Mr. Sebald.  He helped me choose a bow.  Mr. Raymer very nice to me.  Home and practiced.  Worst headache in months after dinner.  Kind of forgot it playing solitaire a little while before bed time.

IN RITA'S DAY:  Reviews in The New York Times could be just as biting as they are today.  Here is what they wrote about a concert by Rita's teacher: "Mr Sebald did not succeed in making these pieces interesting.  They would have been made more so had he played them in tune... It may be deemed fortunate that to no other violinist has such a tasteless and inartisitc idea occurred."

Judy's Entry: Thursday, March 10, 2011
Went to the bank early this morning to get documentation related to my daughter and son-in-law's application for a mortgage.  They have such a lot on their  plate with her injury, pregnancy and now buying a house.  Had Mah Jongg in the afternoon.  Marilyn was sick, so it was just Susan, Shirley and me.  Did okay at first, but after a break for cake... I couldn't win anything.  Had leftovers for supper.  Did a little drawing for art class Saturday.  Don't know if we will continue for the extended class.
