Page 22

Tuesday April 16th 1929
I went out to McCalls in the AM. A pleasant 
call with Mabel. But how I miss Warner.  Soon 
after lunch we went out to see The Woolfs.  So glad 
we went. Got supper down town and went to a 
show at The Chicago Theater.  Home at ten oclock.
Wednesday April 17th 1929
Letter from Hattie wanting us to come meet her at 
Englewood tomorrow morning. After dinner Winnie 
and I went to see Mrs. Dinse.  Pleasant call.
Evening at home. Weather cool.  Wrote Louie Bremner.
Thursday April 18th 1929
We got up early and had a crowded time on the cars.
Did not stop at the right station.  But found it later.
Ida was with Hattie on the way to Milwaukee.  We 
had a good visit there together.  Hattie and I had 
a comfortable trip home.  Carol and Blanche met us.  
I went home with them for supper and Rob brought 
me home.  I unpacked my things and went to bed.
Friday April 19th 1929
It rained all day. I wrote Winnie and looked over 
papers.  Blanche went home. Her father took her to Cedar 
Rapids.  I slept in PM.  Evening to Byingtons with Cora & Hattie.
Saturday April 20th 1929
A year ago today  I got home from Florida.  I wrote Lydia 
and went up town at eleven oclock. Was up in Ott's office.
Paid light bill and got in things for the table.
I surely had a fine trip.  So glad I went.  Wrote Ida.
