Page 125

Tuesday December 2nd 1924
Busy at home in AM. Went to town in
taxi about two oclock. Did some errands and
went up to Whetstones. Stayed till bed-time.
Rob brought me home. Weather some pleasanter.
Wednesday December 3rd 1924
I was at home all day. Read some and made
tatting. Rode to town with Fannie late in PM
for Ott. Edith Whetstone came to Hattie this
afternoon. We spent evening there. Letter from Mabel Mason.
Thursday December 4th 1924
It rained the entire day. Fannie and I took
Jean with us and both went and came by
taxi to Hatties to a party. In the evening wrote
Lydia, LeGrand & Sciota Lape.
Friday December 5th 1924
I was at home all day. Did not feel very well.
The Whetstones were here for late afternoon and
till bed-time. Elsie Beirring here for supper too.
Saturday December 6th 1924
Rob took his folks, Ida Anderson, Fannie & me
down to Stevens for the day. The roads were
very bad. But we made the trip without any
accident. Weather pleasanter. I wrote Birdie
and Mrs Falk in the evening. A letter from
Birdie today tells of a fire in a place where her
things were stored. She lost also in the fire that
destroyed The Grimes Girls old home.
