May 25th Friday

Lovely day but was so tired. I loafed in Dorothy's room all day until after tea. Ferna was here in the afternoon. Vi Mair, Clare, Charlie, Allie, Mother, Duncan, Mrs. Ferguson, Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Smellie in the evening. I went out after tea to show Reg where to plant the pansies at the playhouse and Katybel Black called for the paper I wrote for Jane. Frances went to Toronto this Morning with Roy Reid on her way to N.Y. and Clare goes in the Morning to meet Jack on his return from Winnipeg.

May 26th. Saturday

Lovely day. Went down to Mrs. Beattie's and as she was not in I went in & waited for her. Answered the phone & played solitaire on the back steps till Mrs. Beattie came. Then she came up with me and she and Reg. put in some seeds at back under flag pole.
