Professor Hamilton's Diary: July 30, 1935

They take the subway into New York; Missy goes dancing -- and snooping -- at the Shoreham Hotel

The Hamiltons took the subway to New York today so he could do some more work at the public library. They ate at a dimestore lunch counter and then took the subway home to Bronxville. Perhaps Margaret got to shop at Macy’s?

In today’s installment of The President’s Birthday Ball Affair, Missy goes dancing at the Shoreham Hotel with Ambassador Bullitt and Corey puts the squeeze on Wardlaw. Paid subscribers can read on. Remember that the five books in the Missy LeHand Mystery Series (this is only Book 2) can be read in paperback and Kindle form.

This painting “The Subway” by Lily Furedi was done under the WPA Artists Project in 1934 and accessed via Wikimedia Commons. I bet the Hamiltons witnessed sights similar to this when they boarded their car.
