them over for dinner. Aunty and Aunty Alice walked over. This after noon about five o'clock I drove them home again. Frank and Aunty Alice picked beans over in the garden and Dad. dug potatoes. Our checks for prize money at the Toronto Exhibition came to-day. I got $22.00 and Frank $11.00. It has been nice to-day and much milder.

I disked and Frank harrowed with the little team on the wheat ground. I didn't finish disking till about three o'clock and then Dad. started to drill. and Frank harrowed after him. They worked till dark but got the field finished. I came up and cut part of the lawn it had got very long so after I cut it first I raked it and cut it again but that was just a small patch in the center. Enah went down town this after noon to practice with Zeitha who is going to sing in church to-morrow. She told Dad. she thought she would be home to tea but didn't get home till after tea. Dad. got a little anxious about her so I went down town Aunty's to look for her, but they said she got a ride home with Jack Martin. I just missed them. Cloudy but milder.

Sunday September 29th

We all walked down to church this morning and I stayed down at Aunty's to dinner. The rest came in to Aunty's after church and there was great excitement when the car came in as several of us happened to look out and saw Dick's face in the window. We hadn't the faintest idea that he would be home as he was supposed to leave Petawawa for Vancouver to-morrow, but we all rushed out the back gate and met him at Reeve's corner and he informed us that they weren't to leave for the coast till Wednesday and that they had given him a three day pass so he hadn't asked any more questions but beat it. He stayed down at Aunty's for dinner and then he and Dess went over to the farm and stayed to tea. I spent the afternoon with Marj. and Glad Law and then Marj. and I came over here to tea. Tid stayed down at Aunty's to dinner and went with them up to Huby's for tea and to-night Dad. went after him. We didn't leave till he got back, and Dick spent most of the evening sleeping. He said he hadn't had a decent sleep since he left home.

Monday September 30th
