Saturday Jan. 29th.

Very beautiful day, like Spring. Duncan was up in the Morning hunting words to be found in "Dayton Scales." I had to go to the office to get some work. Did the entries while I waited. Came home and typed the letters. Had two more letters and 3 copies of a By-law to do (about 2 hours work). Frances called and I went to Music Recital with her (at Alma's) where she played for 1st time (had 3 lessons) and Isabel played very well (12 lessons) After tea went to Public Library to get some books.

Sunday Jan. 30th.

Cold day. North wind. Went to Church & S.S. Morning Story for children about "Teeter-Totter". Where one is up, one must be down. Can't both be up at once. So in life, Christ went down that we might be raised up. Read "Peking Dust" by Ellen N. La Motte, so American it makes one angry. Went to church at night. Morning
