Dear Diary,

I got the most beautiful new bedroom suite today that I ever rested my peepers on. It defies description, but it’s just exactly what I’ve always wanted. Just at the moment the bed doesn’t match the rest of the pieces, but a new one will be out from the factory in two weeks. The present bed is made exactly like the others, only in a different wood.

I got several pictures of Bob today. One of them showed him pumping a writer around the Paramount lot on a bicycle. Another accompanied an article about Bing Crosby, so naturally Bing’s in the picture, too. There’s a lot about Bob in the article too. (Who ever saw an article on either Bing or Bob that didn’t have almost as much about the other ?)
