Sunday July 15th

Frank and I walked down to church this morning and Aunty & Dick came back with us to dinner. Lloyd Ryerse came in driving right after dinner and he and Frank drove out to the England's. Dick rode with them as far as the corner but was back in about five minutes in the Millman's car with Ade, Kathleen, Paddy, Skinny and {Gwen?} Canfield. The four of them came up from Toronto last night without sending any word and went to the dance. Ade evidently left early and went down to Aunty's intending to get lodging there for the night but they had gone to bed so he slept
