Je suis allé à un mariage. J'ai dansé une fois avec Mme Flinon. Le monde chic va jouer une pièce de l'Odéon sous la direction de Bauer, les dancer du monde vont, parait-il jouer et, parait-il, j'aurai le principal role. C'est une pièce de l'Odéon: La vie de Bohème. Bauer m'a demandé si je ferai le sacrifice de mes moustaches, ce a quoi j'ai répondu oui, et puis ca repousse, les siennes sont magnifiques, des détails demain. Recu colis très bien arrivé. On en mange encore, merci. Vous êtes des petits anges, merci. 2 janvier 1919 ."
