the Serbian relief fund. He was a very poor speaker and looked any thing but starved as he says every one in Serbia is but made it clear that the kids over there were in pretty distressing straits and I think got quite a boodle for the fund. Dick and I stayed at Aunty's to dinner and I spent the whole after noon there visiting with Aunty, Aunty Alice & Louise. I came home in time to help do chores. Enah went down to tea and to play the organ to-night. Mr. Farney preached but Mr. Johnson got home in time to take the service. Dad. & Tid walked down after tea and came home with Enah & Frank went out to Bill Sidway's with some books. Very hot & dry, wind to-day.
