and four o'clock, he said they had a great time down there dancing till twelve o'clock but not later as it was then Lent. The sleighing was poor but they had no accidents I heard to-night that Jack Martin has bought Vyse out. Sunny, but windy to-day quite a snow storm to night about midnight, but Frank and his pals missed it.

Wednesday March 9th

This morning Dad. and I drove down town and took the baby and we got Joe shod in at Bert Greenbury's who has started up in Butler's old stand. Aunty and Aunty Alice were at church as this is Ash Wednesday, but weren't long and Dad. stayed there with the baby till they got back.

We left the baby down there to dinner. This after noon we did chores and about four o'clock drove down after the baby He wasn't at all anxious to come home. Frank was down at Aunty's and he and I went up and got the posted a letter of Enah's. Frank got a sheet to night showing a system of keeping Farm accounts as arranged by a Mr. Stark District Representative for Peel Co. we saw an account of it in an old number of the Farmer's Advocate so Frank wrote to him the other day. It seems like a very simple yet efficient system and only single entry. I spent the evening pasting snapshots in my album. Sunny but quite cold all day and very blizzardy to-night.
