Page 134

Friday December 3rd 1926
It was late when we had breakfast. I
wrote Birdie & Alice Condon. Winnie busy
about the house. I worked some on bead bag
and we both slept awhile. Read in the evening.
Saturday December 4th 1926
I worked on bag and read papers in forenoon.
Soon after dinner I dressed and went out to see
Warner McCall. Had a pleasant afternoon. It was
nearly dark when I got home. Read all evening.
Sunday December 5th 1926
It snowed last night. We did not go out all
day. I wrote LeGrand, Ann Henslee, Hattie and
Lydia. Late in afternoon Dick Given came for a
call. I read in a book all evening.
Monday December 6th 1926
It was late when we got up. Went down to the
city soon after breakfast. Was at Fields store and
then to a show at "The Oriental." The streets were
very sloppy. Got home about four oclock. A letter
here from Hattie saying John Stevens died Saturday
at noon. I am so sorry. I read in evening.
Tuesday December 7th 1926
It had sleeted last night till everything was
covered with ice. Winnie was out of an errand late
in the afternoon. I sewed some in forenoon.
Wrote Edith Whetstone and in the evening wrote
Ott Seibert and Mattie Fletcher still raining.
