has been wet and slushy all day. There was a cold east wind this morning which later changed to the west. It is freezing a little to-night. Frank and I went down to Sunday school and I helped Miss Martin give out books. We went to church and Marj. and I went down to Aunty's to dinner and stayed there all the after noon and to tea. We went to church with Aunty Alice to-night and afterwards we went around to see how Miss McQueen was but the house was in darkness so we went on over to the Monteith's and stayed there.
