Follis, Alma Halliday, Mrs. Wm. Krug, (still in hospital at Kitchener) and to Miss Small. Went to Mrs. Crow's for my lesson. As it was raining when I was through she lent me an umbrella. Took it back to her before tea. Rained quite hard. Got our veranda chairs out to-day. The air was beautifully fresh and I sat on veranda to read the Globe. (in the rain) Kind of rain one likes to be out in.
