After breakfast this morning I wrote about two letters and that took quite a bit of time. I ironed the dress I was going to wear tonight. By that time it was time to set the table for lunch. After eating I rearranged things in my suitcase. Then I took a sponge bath and got dressed to go out. I got all dressed except for my dress. The Saint Clare’s were coming down from Baxter Springs and we were all going out to Forest Park for supper. At half past six I put on my dress. By seven thirty they hadn’t come so we all went out anyway. We had just finished our dinner when they arrived. They had gotten a late start and they had taken the wrong road. We sat around while they ate and talked to them. After they finished the kids decided that we wanted to go swimming so Pop brought us all the way home. it’s some seven miles. We went in and stayed until eleven o’clock. After we got out Pop treated us to ice cream sodas. It’s been a big night.
Jane's Notes: I am not sure about the spelling of Silom Springs. Mom spells it more than one way, or at least as I try and read her hand writing it seems to be spelled differently. Anyway, I've been unable to find it on a map. I do find Baxter Springs. Maybe the town no longer exists.
