in the feminine gender. Dad. brought Enah & Tid. down to stay to tea about five o'clock and he drove Marj. home & then he and I came home helped Frank do up the chores and we all went down to church to-night. I spent the evening with Marj. Dad. & Enah & Tid. went out to the Shand's this afternoon to see how Flossie was, she is better, but Dad. was very surprised to hear that Fred Doane died very suddenly last night.

Monday February 9th

Dad. and Frank have been down in Preston's orchard all morning. I went down to Uncle Ward's this morning to ask him if he would like to go with Dad. out to Fred Doanes funeral. He hadn't heard that he was dead and was very surprised. He called up town and found that the funeral was to be at half-past two. I came home and practised a little at my show cards before dinner. This after noon Dad. & Uncle Ward went out to the funeral and Frank and I spent the after noon doing chores. We did things up early and went down to the men's banquet in the Sunday school. Dad. drove Enah down about four and then came home & stayed with Tid. We had a very nice time. Mr. Bose the Presbyterian student of yesterday, Dr. Maguire & Mr. Muir manager of the Roal Bank in Simcoe gave very nice addresses and as the men from Simcoe had to leave in time to catch the nine o'clock car, we were home early. Enah & I came home but Frank went to the W.F.N.I. dance in the town hall. Rather cloudy but mild. I just took four chicks from the incubator, so I killed them, they were crippled.
