March 22, (Monday) Took 25 pages of shorthand. Went down town for meat. Called Mrs. M.A. Halliday on the way home. She fell last week and sprained her shoulder. Said it felt somewhat better but she still has it in a sling. Typed my letters - got through about 2 o'clock - (had dinner of course) called on Mrs. Holford who is ill and also went to see Mr. & Mrs. Blair who have both been ill. Mr. Blair still in bed and Mrs. Blair went for a short walk, where sidewalk was cleared. Went down to Charlie's store and then came home and took Mrs. Ryan's watch down to Cobean's and got a new strap for it. Put covers on 3 cushions after tea and practised an hour during the day. Wonderful display of Northern lights & Mr. McDonald telephoned after 10 p.m. to get quotation from "Edinburgh After Flodden" Some time hunting it up but got it. Springlike day. Wore my spring coat for the 1st time since I put on my fur one.
