just before tea on her snowshoes, with a message for Dad. asking him to be bearer at Mr. Morgan's funeral to-morrow. There was another funeral to-day from down east some place. The two hearses went into the cemetry about the same time. I stayed home to-night and worked at my show card practice.

Tuesday January 20th

We did the chores up pretty well this morning and right after dinner Dad. Enah & Tid. drove down town. They put Queen in at Hec's. and left Tid with Aunty and Dad. went to Mr. Morgan's funeral. It was private so Enah didn't go. He was buried up at St. John's. I walked down town after dinner and went to the bank to deposit some money as I promised Boyd. I would send him a cheque when the brooder came. I then went to the station but it hasn't come yet. I was in the Custom House for awhile talking to Huby. He was giving me a long dissertation on the tribulations of his office owing to the constant revision of the ever-changing tariff, when a very seedy looking chap came in and rather sheepishly asked what was the duty on any thing imported from the States. Huby told him it made a great deal of difference what he was importing and when he aparently unwillingly confessed that it was an automobile Huby started in & told him first 30% then 7 1/2% then 10% of the duty paid value. The fellow looked rather dazed and reasoned that "they sure go for a feller". Huby figured it up to be well over $500.00 on $1000.00 so at last the fellow left after asking very particularly

whether the Government got all that money or the fellow he bought his car from. He left rather crestfallen and I think was undecided whether to buy a car in Canada or not at all or wait till the War Debt was paid off or appeal to the A.F.O. of which organization I have no doubt he was a member.

I got home before five and dad soon after me. Enough and 2 to stay down to tea. Dad and I did chores and had a bit to eat and then walk down to see the girl guides concept which they put on for the relief of the I am Manians. It was aunt diners quilting party. How Demon Harry moon coached them and they did very well. Ed Gray and his award did especially well. The concert was over by 9:30 and I spent the rest of the evening with March dad and Ina and take to go to ride home with Pickford in his Bobsleigh. I'm very little milder with our sleet storm this afternoon.
