down to Aunty's for dinner so that he & Gay could have a romp to-gether. They were glad to see each other but were not at all demonstrative over it. I spent the after noon with Marj. and took Harry B. over with me for awhile. Aunty came over a little later and got him. He regards Baby {Hister?} as a great joke. Marj. is alone at Mrs. Lawson's now. Mrs . Woodyer left on Friday and Mrs. McKenzie to-day. I went home about five and went down to the McDonald's and got Ina. I picked Mabel up on the road and she went down with me and held Gay. It has been partly cloudy with a raw east wind all day.
