I had a very small class today. Only about six were there but I had very much better order. I came home right after Sunday School and fixed the cover for my autobiography. At lunch time Helen Miler called up and asked if I would like to go to a soccer game. I slept after lunch and about four thirty Helen came after me. The nomads or the British team was playing the Casino team or the Spaniards. It was quite an exciting game. Allen Howell was playing and I knew several other of the Nomads. The Nomads won 3 to 1. The game was over about six. We found the family waiting for us at the gate of the field. We took Helen home and she invited us in to have a drink. We got home about six thirty. At seven thirty Fred, Myra Belle and Dick arrived. It was an informal dinner and afterwards Myra Belle played and Pop and Dick sang. They left about ten thirty. And tomorrow the piano goes. The family went to see Sleepy’s house and under it found a three month old pup that she (presume this is June) is borrowing for a week.

Jane's Notes: My mother left us a handwritten account of her father and mother and also of life in Manila. She writes this about Sleepy's house: "The year (1920) that she lived in Minnesota (Mom, her mother and sisters spent a year in the states when Mom was 10 and Sleepy came along as well) my father withheld her salary and then gave it to her in a lump sum when she got back to Manila. It was enough that she could buy a house of her own and she became a woman of substance in the little community where she lived, besides a woman of the world with all her traveling."
