Friday November 19th

We haven't done much to-day but chores. Frank husked a nice lot of corn. This morning he and I took some barley down to the mill for chop but their chopper is out of order so we couldn't have it done. We got the rolled oats we left the other day and brought some potatoes down here for Marj. This was her day for receiving again and Aunty, Aunty Alice and Aunt Ida came over to help her. She had a host of callers too. Aunty stayed with us for tea. To-night we went to the Wilson McDonald concert "In Sunny France" on some complimentary tickets that Enah got. We all enjoyed it very much especially the dances by the little girls. Of course it was especially interesting to Dover folk as it was entirely written and composed by Wilson McDonald a brother of Daisys who had the honor of going to school here. He is very clever not only a poet and composer but an artist in certain lines. There were about fifty in the cast mostly Dover girls though some came down from Brantford.
