I went out this morning and tried to do a few chores, but couldn't do much. Louise came out for awhile to see the livestock and Dad. took Queen out in the halter for her entertainment but Tige proved to be the chief attraction in that show.

This after noon Mrs. Bowlby came down & Louise went back with her. Mrs. Bannister, Mrs. Vyse & her three kids came over this after noon. I was {illegible} to come in the house so nearly froze out in the drive shed where Dad. was putting a new head on the scraper which old Harry broke this morning. Dick got home early but went back again to watch the dance.

Dad & Frank went down to Alfred's to-night to show him Franks. Mecanno Outfit. Lovely sunny day. Freezing slightly to-night.

Enah was feeling miserable this morning having fainted in the night. without telling any body. This afternoon Aunty went down to Bible Class.
