Description
Northampton, Massachusetts; New York, 1935. Unbound. Near Fine. Two volumes. Small octavos. Both measuring 4" x 5.5". Latches broken and some edgewear thus both volumes near fine. Two line-a-day diaries kept by Elinor Zipkin, sister of New York City socialite, Jerry Zipkin, while she was attending college. Elinor attended Smith College, possibly a classmate of Julia Child, and writes about her experiences between 1933 and 1935. Many of the entries discuss her days at school, studying, seeing films with friends, and going to class. "Compulsory chapel - can't believe I've been here a week - the time passed so slowly!" In the same entry she lists her classes for the day writing, "French. Tap dancing - Psych recitations. Met Sonny for lunch at Paradise then to German and we walked back...and had a cigarette and talked a while. Then home to study for a history written before and after dinner. Phoned New York and spoke to Mother and Daddy - And so to bed." In January of 1935, Zipkin went to a Gertrude Stein lecture entitled, "The Gradual Making of The Making of Americans." Zipkin writes that after the lecture she and her friends, "went backstage and got her autograph - also spoke to Alice B. Tolkas, a queer looking duck - G.S. was just as I pictured her - even more feminine." Zipkin was born into a wealthy family in New York that made its money through real estate development. When she was not at school she discusses spending time in New York with her family. In the beginning of one semester she writes about being upset about leaving New York. "Was in a rather bad mood as I had to take the train back to college. I just can't believe how fast the time went." Zipkin's brother, Jerry, went on to be a man about town and close friend to both Nancy Reagan and Somerset Maugham. An interesting account of a young socialite's time at Smith College in the mid-1930s.
