Wonderful mellow October days.
Keller is most natural. Yesterday while criticizing me he turned his head suddenly and asked “Is there a dirty spot on my nose?”
A short talk with Wilcox yesterday. When I told him I thought modelling would do me more good than costume design he said it depended on what I wanted to be. An illustrator? he asked. “Not ultimately” I said “I want to paint -.” “Oh” he said “you want to be an artist. You’re crazy too like some of the rest of us?” It did me more good than anything I have had yet since I came up.
