Helen Korngold Diary: September 15-21, 1919

Helen Korngold, Dec. 1919, New York City

Helen's first teaching position at Wellston with 7th Grade did not go well and she asked the principal to find a new teacher. Now Helen is bored again. Just housework to do, like in late summer.

September
Monday 15
I was bored all day.

Tuesday 16
Work just all day.

Wednesday 17
Housework is hard.

Thursday 18
Seems funny to be home.

Friday 19
But I like it better than Wellston.

Saturday 20
Fool around.

Sunday 21
Read – Theater party

NOTES:

Sept. 21

The newspapers note 'theater parties' in conjunction with many celebrations. I wonder what show Helen saw. Tillie, the Mennonite Maid, set in Pennsylvania?

Or perhaps Scandal, about a girl's 'madcap' adventures?

Sept. 21, 1919 ad from St. Louis Post-Dispatch shows the influence of Japanese style.

Fall suits and coats.
