back this after noon I cracked my axe handle so I just piled the wood that Frank cut. Tid went back with us and took his little one and worked like a nigger. Hazel Ward came over after school to-night to stay till Monday. After tea we had a fire in the fire-place and Mark came in to spend the evening and we had a fine time discussing poetry and eating pop-corn which Marj. popped. Beautiful day, freezing to-night.
