over night. Aunty went down town this after noon to get some things. Something has gone wrong with the dining room stove chimney and we can hardly see accross the room in there for smoke. Nice day, much milder, slight wing=d and raining o-night.

Sunday February 16th

I intended to go to church this morning with Aunty, Dick & Frank but I had to go up on the roof to see what was the matter with the dining room chimney, and as I had to wait till the fire went out it was twenty minutes to eleven when I got sown, I found the cause of the trouble was that a brick had blown down the chimney and nearly filled up the flue. I hadn't much trouble in disloging it Quint came over with the boys to dinner and this afternoon we went skating. I thought I ought to go as I didn;t get to church this morning. We were the only ones on the creek, and the skating was good. We were out to the end of the pier and up as far as To,mmy
