To Custom House. Finished two memorandums. Had 1 hour talk with Muni, head of Allied Warehouses (Customs brokers, etc.) and learned a lot about the Customs, and very little good. Dined at Liu’s. (She was peggy Auyang Pauline’s daughter). Chinese food, semi “pien fan”, and good. K and Mrs. Huang; Mr. & Mrs. Picasso, and 2 other Chinese couples there. A very gay and pleasant group. All have far too much money, but they are intelligent, friendly and entertaining.
