Dick, Frank and I went down town to-night. Dick went to the dance and stayed down town all night. I hummed around town awhile and then went and got my hair cut. Mr. & Mrs. Millman & Nita came up in the car this after noon and are going to take Percy and Kathleen back to-morrow. Pretty hot and rainy looking.

Sunday August 25th

Tid. and I went down to Sunday school this morning but as no Bible Class teacher showed up, I went on to see Hazen Waddle who is home on a week end here. I hadn't seen him since he got into uniform till this morning. I found him at break fast in company with three damsels two of whom were strangers to me and the third one Miss Shiltz.

Enah and I went down to Aunty's after church where we ran across the Millmans and Mr. Millman drve us home in the car. Huby and Dick came over with us but went back to Aunty's with Mr. Mill man for dinner. I read and slept all the after noon. Frank went down town and for a swim in the lake with Lloyd Ryerse and Dad. and Tid went down to the mill for a swim but I guess just paddled around in the creek. John Quanbury came over after Dad. to-night and he went over with him to see his sick cow but Dad. said it was all right. Wilbur Ryerse came in to-night to tell me that if I went over there to Tuppers in the morning I could go down to Douglas with them. Frank said that the Millman's went to turn the car around down in front of Aunty's this after noon and backed the thing right down the hill on to the
