at all friendly to Vyse, but I have nothing in particular against the poor cuss and this back biting sore head business gives me a pain anyway. Dad'd always friendly enough when he happens to meet him and I don't see why he isn't other times or wehy if he hates him so much as he says he does, he doesn't tell him so. I spent the rest of the morning and most of the after noon brong gthe post holes and inserting posts there in to syretch a piece of chicken wire on to divide off aother yard for the single combed hens. Dad. made a gate for the yard. Lila has been over all day as she & Frank are both home on account odf Mr. Smith's illness. Winnie cam eover after four and stayed to tea but Lila had to go back and have her music lesson. Huny was over to dinner. To-night Franl and I went down to and I spent the evening playing poker. Enah & Frank have been been house cleaning all day. It has been a nice sumnny day & is a mild night but looks like rain.
