who, with Mrs. Ryan's help were getting Costumes for a carnival in Paisley to-night. Went up to see Mother and read her a letter I got from Frank. Met her on the road going for a walk, went in for awhile and then Mother walked down to the corner and I walked back to the gate with her. Mary Kyle came along and Mother went on home with her and I came home. Walking bad. Met Blanche Gillies and walked over to their house with her. Practised ½ an hour when I got home. Wrote to Clare, Nell, Dorothy and Douglas.

Nice mild day. Washed the palm in the morning. It took about 2 hours. Read "The Clash". Went down town in the afternoon and called at the office. When Charles said he wanted to give me some work so did not get away until 6 p.m. Have about 13 pages of shorthand to type on Monday Morning. Some U.F.O. evidently sent word to the Fire Marshal that they suspected the U.F.O. store had been set on fire as the Deputy Fire Marshal was here yesterday
