He walked down town with me or at least wobbled down he was too drunk to walk straight. Marj. and I walked up home with Lila and then on around by the mill and stayed for awhile on the point. Mr. Zealand just got home as we did. Marj. set the table for breakfast and he sat there and tried to talk to me and told me not to get him any thing to eat as he wasn't hungry. We went to bed as soon as we could and he went in his room and got undressed and then began prancing around the house in his underwear. Back & forth from the pantry where the cider is to his bedroom where I think his whiskey is and then into the parlor and then we heard him at the stove in the kitchen. He would go and ring the telephone and then come back and pound away like a nailer at his typewriter, then put a record on the phonograph and then hike out to the kitchen again. Finally I went down pretending to get a drink and found him warming up beans in the frying pan.

Dad. came in on his way home about nine o'clock and wondered what had struck the place. We had breakfast about 10 o'clock and invited Mr. Zealand in to have some with us. He came and was in a very good humor but seems peeved at Marj. He blames her for making the fuss. He was around all day and every now and then would ask me how I was getting along He rang up Sidney McQueen about forty times during the day to see when he was going to send his groceries up. Dad. came in after dinner on his way down to get a tooth pulled and said they would come after a load of stuff as soon as he got back. Frank came with the rack about four o'clock and took about half the
