They had a program in SS because of Easter so I didn’t have to teach them. The church was very crowded it being Easter and June became a member of the church. On the way home from church June complained of a head ache and went to bed as soon as she got home. She felt so bad she couldn’t go to a luncheon given for her. After dinner I went to sleep. At about three we went out to see the new big dam. The biggest of is kind in the world. June was feeling well enough to go with us by that time. We got back at four thirty and Mom and Pop went out to tea and June, Eleanor and I went for a ride. We went after them at six thirty and then came home and had dinner. After dinner they went to the Service at the church.

I got up late this morning. After breakfast I washed my hair. I was to have gone swimming with Alex but I couldn’t so at lunch time he called up and I told him I couldn’t go. After lunch I slept and at five I went with Mom to the tailors and hat store. At seven I started to get ready to go to dinner with Alex. Mom and Pop went out to dinner too. Alex came for me at eight. We had dinner out at the lareu. It was so cool and such a night. We went into the club to dance between courses. It was about ten fifteen when we left there and went to the Hotel. It was quite crowded. Much more so than I expected to find it on this weekend because of Holy week. Just as we walked in Helen and Jim dance by and asked us to join them. Alice, Lucy, and Helen Reid had gone out so they decided to, too. They stayed until about two and we left about two forty five, just before they closed up the Hotel. I had a good time even if I was bothered to death with my hair.

Friday, March 29

I slept late this morning. When I came downstairs Mrs. Heilburn was there. She had a bottle of perfume for June and one of jade for me. Mom had to go to the doctor’s again this morning and I took her down. After lunch June, Jane and I decided to go to the movies. We saw Marion Davis in “The Cardboard Lover”. It was very good and very funny. Just as I got home Mom announced that Mary Crosby had phoned in distress that she was having a tea and one of her players had backed out and could I help her. The tea was at four. I played bridge with Mary Brasted (she leaves the day after I do), Mary Louise Colbert and Margarita somebody, a new girl. Pop was playing golf with the Franks and they live at the Crosby’s so I came home with them and then brought me home at about 7:30. At eight we went to the Service at the church. It was musical service and it certainly was beautiful. Particularly the organ music and the chorus. I got home from the church about ten fifteen.

Thursday, March 28, 1929

As this was holy Thursday Pop came home from the office at ten this morning and as the chauffeur was sick again I took Mom downtown to do some errands. We got home about twelve thirty. Pop said some young man had called while I was gone. It was Alex. He called again and asked me to go swimming with him at three this afternoon. After lunch I rested until Alex came. When we first got out there there were very few people around. I met Hal Mitthorp. After a while the pool got quite crowded. After we got out we had some drinks and a sandwich. We left there at six ten and Allen was calling for me at the house at six fifteen. When we got home Allen was waiting. I rushed up and changed and then we went to the movies in Allen’s new car. After the movies we went to the Polo Club for dinner. It was beautifully cool out there. After dinner we went to the Hotel where we joined Shorty Hall and Helen Reed. The Hotel was dead, there was hardly anybody there. Everybody’s in Baguio including Dick. We got home about twelve thirty. Saw Bunny at the Hotel.

Jane's Notes: I remember the name Baguio. It is in the mountains and people from Manila would go there in the summer because it was cooler. I believe the Camp Fire Camp that Mom went to was in that area as well.

This is a post card in Mom's scrap book of the Polo Club:

I didn’t get up this morning until about ten thirty so I didn’t have any breakfast. I fooled away the time until before I knew it was lunch time. After lunch I slept until about three. Mrs. Gunderfinger had a tea this afternoon and I went with Billie Williams. I played bridge with Miss Jones and two very nice ladies that I had never met before. We were the last ones to finish and even then we didn’t finish the third rubber. Miss Jones brought me home. Nobody was hungry so except for Pop and I eating soup, nobody ate any dinner. The whole family is invited over to Myra Belle and Fred’s to dinner Friday night.

My first day of freedom from school was spent in absolute idleness. I did nothing but try on dresses all day. This morning I was wondering what I was going to wear to Helen’s party when Mrs. Miller pops in with a beautiful beaded dress that was too small for her and she wondered if it could be fitted for me. All comes to those who wait. It was fixed and it was lovely. A beautiful shade of green. In the afternoon I slept and took a bath and rested again. I did nothing but rest all day. At seven fifteen I started to dress for dinner. Dick is a salesman now so he came for me in a car that he drives himself. We were the last ones there. There were six couples. It was a lovely dinner and it was heaps of fun, very informal. After coffee we went to theHotel. The orchestra off the boat was there for three dances but they weren’t so hot. We closed the place up. We took Alex and Helen home but first we drove around and sang for most of an hour. I got home about three fifteen. I’ve got two dates for Thursday and Saturday.

Jane’s Notes: In the scrapbook I found this newspaper clipping: “Miss Lucy and Helen Morton entertained at a dinner on Tuesday night honoring Miss Annabel Powell who will go to the States soon with her parents. She will enter college at Eugene, Oregon, in the autumn.” In addition to these diaries and the scrapbook I inherited the contents of Mom's Hope Chest, a beautiful carved camphor wood chest which I have displayed in my front hall. There were lots of cloths from her Philippine days and I have that beautiful green beaded dress. Definitely a flapper era 1920's style.

Monday, March 25, 1929

The day! No more school, no more books, no more teacher’s with crossed looks. At central we didn’t do a thing as far as studying was concerned. We got our card and helped decorate. About nine thirty Helen and I went downtown to get some more paper for decorating purposes. At Physics Mr. Sarrano gave us back our note books and told us what good pupils we had been etc. etc. At two I went downtown with Pop and got Helen’s present and did some errands and got home at three. While I was gone Helen had left a present for me. It is a darling compact. We all had to be at school at four. We had our pictures taken and then just at five marched slowly up the stairs. I was grinning and almost giggling all thru the program. At last we got our diplomas. Our uniforms didn’t look so bad and the orchid bouquets were beautiful. Mary Brasted gave me some lovely hankies and Mrs. Street a beautiful bouquet. Afterward we had our pictures taken again and then Mom, Helen Morton, Helen Miller and I went to the Polo Club for awhile.

Jane's Notes: an envelope in the scrap book contains the High School Commencement Program, Invitation, cards that probably accompanied graduation presents plus a pressed flower in a yellow ribbon.

Sunday, March 24, 1929

I was dead tired when I woke up this morning and it took me a long time to get awake as a consequence. I was late to SS but I made up for it by going to church. The music was very good this morning I thought. After church Mom and I went to Mrs. Larkin’s so I could thank her for the lovely graduation gift she sent me. Just as we were sitting down to dinner Dick called up and asked me if I would like to go swimming with him and another couple. Of course I was thrilled the first time he has asked me for a date. After dinner I took some pictures of Eleanor and the dog. They came for me at about three o’clock. We drove out to Montelbon. We got out there after about one hour’s drive and they told us we couldn’t go in but went around the bend of the river just out of sight. We had to dress behind bushes. We had a beautiful ride in with the sunset and songs and all. Early to bed tonight - Tomorrow!

Saturday, March 23, 1929

I was going down town this AM but we had a graduation practice at ten thirty so I couldn’t go. After breakfast I puttered around until time to go to school. We got thru about eleven thirty and Helen brought me home. After dinner I rested and at three I went down town while Mom was at the boat. I came back for her at four and then we went to the “China Drawn Work” and I spent some money. Then we came home and I dressed to go out to the Jason for dinner. Bunny and his friend came by about 5:10 and then we went after Hope. She wasn’t home yet so we had to wait for her. We caught the 5:30 boat to the ship which didn’t leave until quarter to six. We had to stop at all the air planes on the way out to the ship. It’s a big boat. We had a wonderful dinner about quarter to seven and then went to the movies on board. After the movies we played bridge until the ten o’clock boat and then went to the Hotel. Got home about 2.

Jane's Notes: Here's a note on note paper from the Army-Navy Club about arrangements for this dinner. Army Navy Club notepaper. “Called several times this afternoon but no luck. Everything is ok for Saturday to the Jason for dinner. Try to get Hope, if she can’t arrange her freedom better yet another girl. The boat leaves the A-N Club about five thirty so we will call for you about five. If I can get ashore tomorrow, Friday, will call but if not we will call at your home about five, then go for Hope. Till Saturday, Bunny.”

Friday, March 22, 1929

Except for the first period we wrote all day. Tests in Civics, English, Spanish and Physics and probably not one of them will count. We got our pictures of Class Day and everybody wanted signatures on the back of pictures. I never signed my name so many times in all my life. After lunch I slept for a little while and about one I started getting ready to go to Hope’s. Mom kept telling me to hurry as she usually does but she was late herself. It was the loveliest shower and I got such beautiful presents. Four pieces for my desk that I didn’t have, some towels and a dresser scarf and a darling felt bug from Myra Belleandau, oil painting of the 220 that Hope did herself. The prettiest best thing. We played bridge until seven, then the Morton’s brought me home and I dressed as fast as I could and was ready for Dick at seven thirty and he didn’t come until eight. After much hunting we found the apartment. Fred cooked the dinner and Myra Belle made a perfect hostess. After dinner went to see “New Brooms” again. Went to Tom’s afterwards. Home 2:15.

Jane's Notes: A newspaper clipping in the scrapbook reads: "Miss Hope Blaisdell will honor Miss Annabell Powell this afternoon at a tea at her home. Mrs. Leopold Kahn, Jr., will pour. Her guests will be the Misses Helen Morton, Alice Morton, Lucy Morton, Minnie Harris, Doris Tremblay, Margaret Ostrand, Jean tyre, Helen Miller, ruth Carman, Consuel McMicking, Mrs. A. B. Powell, Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs. Leopold Kahn, Jr."

There is an envelope with cards inside from that party. On Hope’s card she says “Anabelle - I hope you will hang this picture somewhere in your room where it can always remind you of the good times you had on the “220”. Love, Hope.” A 2nd card from Hope says “Dearest Annabelle, This is to go with the rest of your desk set - Lovingly, Hopie." Another card “With the best of all good wishes for Happy Days at college. Much, much love, Helen.” “To Elizabeth with all the best wishes in the world, Doris” “May your days at Oregon be as happy as mine were Anabelle. Lovingly MyraBelle”

Thursday, March 21, 1929

Mrs. Mal. told us unofficially that we would have no further Math assignments! Rah! Nothing in Civics, English or spanish but, the bomb shell came in Physics where he sprang a test on us. Three tests on Friday. It has ceased to be funny. After we had lunch Helen and I were going to see the U.P. Art exhibit before school practice but it wasn’t open until three and that was just when practice began. So I went over to her house until practice. Afterwards we went to the Exhibit for twenty minutes. It was pretty good. But so immodest. We went for a short ride and then went back to Helen’s to study which we did as best we could until about twenty to seven. Then we came home and had dinner and dashed to the show. It was “New Brooms” and it was a whale of a hit. A good play and good acting. Mary Crosby also went with us and she is spending the night here.

Jane’s Notes: There is a clipping in the scrap book that lists all the plays by the Community Players for their 1928-29 season. At the top Mom wrote “I saw all of them”. Then she gave her review for each: “Broadway” - good; “Smiling Thru” - very good; “Tommy” - fair; “The Best People” - good (AB Powell, her father, appears in that one); “Laff That Off” - fair; “The Torch Bearers” - good; and “New Brooms” - very good. She writes that she went to New Brooms with the Hendricks and Dick.

Two tests on Friday - English & Civics. And I don’t think either of them will count. Imagine giving a test on Friday when we graduate on Monday. In physics today Mr. Sarrano showed us some very interesting things about electricity. After outlining furiously all day yesterday he didn’t call for the notebook. I’m glad I’ve done it tho’. After lunch I called Hope up and asked her if she wanted to go swimming and she said OK. All the family was out to dinner so Mom told me to have a big tea at the Polo Club. I read until four and at four thirty Hope came for me. We swam until about six fifteen and then had tea. While we were eating I got a note from Allen asking me to go to the movies. We got home from the Polo Club at seven thirty. I wrote a letter to Anna and at eight thirty Allen came for me. He had a Chev. Coupe on approval. Home at eleven.

Jane's Notes: I don't know what color this Chrevy Coupe might have been but here's one fully restored I found on the Internet. Pretty snazzy car.

Tuesday, March 19, 1929

Mrs. Mal. didn’t come until the period was more than half over. We had to write our name on the backs of our diplomas today. I signed mine so it looks like I’m going to graduate. Mrs. Rothenberger gave us warnings of a test but I know it won’t count so why worry. We had a fairly simple experiment in Physics today. We have three weeks from today if all goes well. Here’s hoping. After lunch I outlined Physics until four, then slept until five, then outlined again until seven and after dinner until ten. It was surprising the amount I got done. I’m so tired!

Monday, March 18, 1929

We finally got our Alg. test and it was a complete surprise and also long and hard. We never have English classes any more, too much to be discussed. Helen told me that they wanted to give a dinner for me. It’s to be Tuesday of next week. Dick is to come for me and he’s also calling for me for a dinner Myra Belle and Fred are having next Friday. Hope is having a tea for me on Friday, too. And Saturday I’m going out to the Jessie if all goes well. We had afterward Standard Civics test today. We finished the test questions in Physics. I slept from three to four. At five I started outlining Physics. After supper wrote two letters. And so to bed!

Sunday, March 17, 1929

After church, I mean S.S., I went to church for the first time in ages. Oscar was there with Hope and I sat with them. We hurried home, had lunch in about twenty minutes and went to the movies. After the movies I took Pop and Mom to a funeral at the Masonic Temple. They took the car home. Sleepy said that someone had called me up while we were gone. I laid down for about an hour and about four fifteen Allen called up and asked if I cared to go to the show with him. I told him I had just been and he then suggested the Polo Club Tea Dance and I said OK. I hurried down to the Temple to pick up Mom and Pop because they said to be sure and be there at four thirty. They didn’t get out until five. We came home and I changed and about 5:45 Allen came for me. We had tea sandwiches and cake and danced until eight. Lots of people out there.

Saturday, March 16, 1929

When I woke up about nine thirty I found all the family gone. I found out they had gone swimming. I got hold of Mom and she told me to order a car and come out. After a spell I got out there about ten thirty. I had a nice morning swim and deepened the color of my skin. After lunch I read again until about 3:45. I was invited to Helen Miller’s for tea and bridge. There were just two tables. Before tea we took our pictures. I played a pretty good game for me. Bunny Gates had called up before we left the house and I understood him to say he was coming between seven and seven thirty. We left Helen’s at 7:20 so I expected to find them waiting for me. They didn’t come until after eight. Hope , Dave, Bunny and I had dinner at the Army and Navy Club. There was quite a crowd. There were some huge dinner parties, about sixty people at one table. After dinner we went over to the hotel. Again I saw lots of people I knew. A Dan somebody joined us later. Home at three!

Friday, March 15, 1929

Mrs. Maloney forgot the test thank heaven. We had to do some beastly translating in Spanish. At Physics we finished reviewing our test questions which took up the whole two periods because Morton argued with the teacher so often and so long. After lunch I read my book and about four Mom came in and told me to get ready. Alex Fyre called up and told me he was supposed to come for me but he couldn’t because of office work so would it be alright if I came with my mother. I said sure but I didn’t quite know what it was all about. We went to the OBS supper dance. From five to eight. Alex didn’t come until six. After supper at eight Alex asked me to go to a show with him. I was supposed to go to the Red Cross Lifesaving committee meeting but we drove around and found there wasn’t any. We went to see “Under the Black Eagle” and later we went to the hotel. There were heaps of people I knew there. One thirty home.

Thursday, March 14, 1929

Mrs. Maloney was going to give us a test in Alg. but she was late and so it was postponed. We got out of Spanish ten minutes early today. Helen’s car wasn’t there so we had to walk for the first time in ages. We got our invitations today and we’ll get our class day pictures soon, too. Perhaps on Monday. After lunch I wrote out twenty two invitations and then went swimming with June, Frances and Jane. We stayed in until about five but we got so cold we had to get out. On the way home I left the three kids at Samons, came home, got my Elks Club library book and returned it and took out another. The family didn’t come home until ten to eight and even then had to eat alone because they had all eaten.

Wednesday, March 13, 1929

Algebra is awful. Unless I can’t help it I’ll never take it on again. The invitations were at school today. In Physics today we reviewed the last questions and it sounded pretty good for me. Right after lunch I read. At three thirty I started dressing for the tea I was having for my Sunday School Class. We played Blind Man’s Bluff until everybody was here and then we had dainty sandwiches, cookies and lemonade. Then such a ruff and tumble that followed. Such screaming and yelling as you never heard. At about six they demanded that I tell them stories, scary ones were the only kind. By seven, after they had all left I was worn out. Then Mom came home and announced that I was invited out to dinner at the Blaisdell’s with them. There were four middle aged couples and Hope and I. After dinner, Hope and I went riding. We came home at eleven but I was pretty tired.

Tuesday, March 12, 1929

Hope was still asleep when I left this morning and she was gone when I got back from school so I didn’t get to speak to her before she left. Everybody in our class was talking excitedly about our Physics final and they were getting nervous and cold fingers, etc. I wasn’t excited and I found I got on much better. I’m sure I made a much better mark than I would have if I’d been in Helen’s condition. There were 144 true false questions and sixty minutes to do it in. I think I did fairly well. I hope so because I need it. After dinner I went to sleep and about 3:30 got ready to go to Mrs. Burger’s tea. She asked me to assist in the serving. Mrs. Best was to take me out. I went over to her house and on the way stopped in at the China Drawn Work and bought one of those new straw purses. At the tea I saw many lady friends. I didn’t do much. I didn’t eat much dinner after having tea. I think I’m catching cold, I feel it coming on.

Monday, March 11, 1929

Problems to work in Alg. A lesson in Civics but in Eng. we discussed our graduation. Then a misunderstanding between Mr. Rojo and Mary Cadwallider. We got out twenty minutes early from Spanish. We came home in those extra minutes and had some lemonade and cake and read the paper. We had another test at Physics. Then we added our test and my sum was 82 1/2. He announced that our final would be tomorrow. Oh! Lordy, lordy. At two Mom and June and I went down to Badillos to have my dress ordered. We got home about three. At noon Pop brought me home a letter and a valentine from Steve and a letter from Jack. After three I wrote a letter to George. At five Hope and her mother came around to take Mom, June and I to Mrs. Streets tea for Mrs. Stagg. It was a sweet party. We asked Hope to spend the night. We took her mother home then took Mom out to dinner and then came home had dinner and talked.

Sunday, March 10, 1929

I woke up at about eight thirty. After breakfast I had to drive the bunch to SS because the chauffeur was sick again. I invited my SS class to the house on Wed. for a goodbye party. Mom and Pop didn’t get home after church until about one. I almost went to sleep before lunch. After lunch I went to sleep and slept until about four. About five the Stevenson’s came for tea. They stayed until six thirty. Then dinner and so to bed.

Saturday, March 9, 1929

This morning Mom and I went shopping. What a wonderful morning. I got two more new pairs of shoes, including my white kid for graduation, a new pair of stockings, some heels to match my Kimono, and some pictures. We got home about one o’clock. June spent the day at Jane’s and at one thirty she called up and said that they wanted to go to the show and could the car take them down. Mom had an errand to do also and the chauffeur wasn’t back so I took them down. We got home about twenty to three. Mom had to be at Mrs. Kenndlers to the DAR tea by three with her cake and to wrap prizes and I went with her. Bathed and dressed for a tea in 20 minutes. Worked furiously wrapping forty odd prizes until five. Then I enjoyed myself until we left about seven. We got home. June said Allen Howell had called up three times. At about quarter to eight he called again. We went to see Lon Chaney in “Laugh, Clown, Laugh” and then to the Hotel. I saw lots of people I know. Before going home we went for a long ride. Home at two fifteen.

Jane’s Notes: Laugh, Clown, Laugh is a 1928 silent film starring Lon Chaney and Loretta Young. The movie was directed by Herbert Brenon and produced and released through MGM Studios.

Friday, March 8, 1929

Problems on the board in Alg. but nothing in Civics or English. All Seniors cut Spanish. Helen and I went to her house. At Physics the class as a whole invited Mr. Sarrano to our Class Day program. I was called on again today and I think I got another good mark. I came home at twelve and found half of our down stairs furniture gone or going. It won’t be long now. After lunch I slept. At quarter to four I started getting ready to go to school. I wore my new gown dress and new shoes. Went over about four twenty. Everybody was at the program that I had invited except Mrs. Larkin. I think the play came off pretty good and the gift certainly made a hit. All the time we’ve been in high school our class has been the best all around. Afterwards I went to Hope to see the pictures taken Sunday and get the films. We were invited to the Luseta Hotel to have dinner with the Stevens. At nine o’clock we hurried down to the opera house. Galli-Curci was marvelous. It’s no use trying to describe it. She’s the brightest little woman and most gracious and attractive. Has she personality?!

Jane's Notes: The Scrapbook has an envelop with the Class Song and the Program from the Manila Central High School Senior Class Day. Ann Elizabeth Powell is in the play as "Comrade Cards." There is also this great picture of the senior class. Mom is 2nd from right, back row. You can only see her head. She looks to be the 2nd tallest person in the class. I'll bet she has on those new shoes with the 3 inch heels.

Thursday, March 7, 1929

We didn’t have any classes at Central at all today because we took Standard test all morning until ten. When I got down stairs I found Mom waiting for me. She wanted me to see some coats. So Helen and I went with her and I got the most adorable coat. It has a fox collar and its wool plaid lined and interlined. We didn’t have a test in Physics today thank heaven! We got to Physics just as he started class. He called on me today. I think I did pretty well. Right after lunch Mom wanted me to drive her over to Mabini. At one thirty I went to final dress rehearsal. Calls Day is tomorrow. We stayed until about four. I came home and Mom and I went down town. I bought some of the most adorable shoes. Three inch heels and round toes. When Pop came we went down to the Jap. store and go my Kimono and we also got some Jap slippers and stockings. I’ve had them all on dozens of times. It certainly has been a full day. Only 33 more days.

Wednesday, March 6, 1929

We started something new in Algebra today. They’re easy as far as we’ve gone. Didn’t have any civics class today. David was taking his test. Only 34 more days before we go and 13 of school. At one thirty we had to go back to school for practice, with scenery and everything. Got thru about four. Went after June, Jane, Frances and then took Helen home. Came home and got my suit and then we went swimming. The water was cold, and how. I stayed in until five thirty. There were a lot of kids out there. We left the club at about six thirty. Took Frances home. Went after Mom & Pop then took Jane home.

Jane’s Notes: “Only 34 more days before we go....” when they sail for the US and their around the country tour. You’ll want to keep reading. That trip was quite an adventure. I recently found a photo of a young woman Mom’s age labeled “Helen.” I assume it must be her girlhood friend Helen which you’ve read a lot about in this diary. I’ll get it scanned and add to the diary sometime when Helen is mention again.

Tuesday, March 5, 1929

Had my second puncture today. I hurt worse than the other. I got that drawing from Henry today. Mrs. Rothenberger told us that by Friday of this week all Senior grades will be sent in. Whether we graduate or not will be determined by the end of this week. After lunch at one thirty I had to hurry back to school for practice. Got there at three but dallied around and didn’t get home until four. At five thirty the car came and we went for a ride and went after Pop at ten to seven and he brought us down two Move Magazines.

Jane’s Notes: “Puncture” must have been a shot in preparation for their trip to the States I assume.

Monday, March 4, 1929

Blue Monday indeed! We had a standard test in Spanish to day - Seniors. It lasted two periods! imagine. It was the longest, most awful test I have ever experienced. I tho’t I did pretty well in the test in Physics but because of a dumb mistake I only got 7 2/3. After dinner at two June and I went downtown. First we went to the Post Office to send a money order and then we went to the dentists. On the way home I stopped at the China Drawn Work and got two more pieces for my desk set and a lovely evening purse. At four June had some guests in to tea. At five I started outlining Physics. I continued until supper time and after until nine. And so to bed.

Sunday, March 2, 1929

Mom woke me up at nine o’clock and asked me if I wanted to teach my class. I didn’t want to get up but I felt I had to. I went with out any breakfast. I came home right after SS and read the paper. Right after lunch Mom, June, Eleanor and I went to the movies. We saw mary Pickford in “My Best Girl”. It was very good I thought. We got home about three fifteen. I rested awhile and at about twenty to three called Hope up and she said they were coming for me about four. They got there about four thirty. We went to Hope’s and took some pictures and then had tea. About six we started for a ride. We went to McKinley and then we went to see the Guadalupe hill just at dusk. It was quite ghostly. On the way home we stopped at the Santa Anna Cabet to see what it was like. I got home about seven. We is Hope, Dave, Bunny and I.

Friday, March 1, 1929

We had classes today but we could not do much because of all the exhibits that were piled up on all the desks. I got 100 in a test we had in Physics. Now, boys, give the little lady a hand. I came home and read until dinner time and right after dinner. I finished my book about four o’clock then started reading post stories which I read until supper time. After supper we played with the pup and after June and Jane went to bed I played Russian Bank with Sleepy and beat her by one card. After that we played double solitaire.
