and I had our tea alone. Jean and Adelena came back with them to-night. I had a very nice after noon Went over to the Herring's cottage and found that Miss Bain, Miss Whitney, Lewis Woodson & Douglas Skey had walked to Port Ryerse for a picnic and Louise had gone part way with them but was coming back so I went down and met her just a little way up with the little Cook girl. We came back and went down town to call on Ada. She wasn't home when we first went up but we sat down and she appeared presently so we spent the rest of the after noon there.
