September 14

     I met Beth in N.Y. to begin

a tour of stores in a furniture

hunt inspite of the pouring rain.

We wore ourselves out over the

job without success in snaring

much quality for low prices.

The situation is reversed these days.

We finally succeeded in getting an

Adirondack settee and table affair

for the KΔ porch, cushions and

material with which to cover them;

mahogany bookcase and floor

lamp and shade. I hope it

looks O.K.

     The threatened hurricane appeared

tonight along the Eastern Coast, with

much damage of property. Long

Island streets are impassable

with trees sprawled across

them.
