I went up town to get some things after I did the 
morning work. Hattie came early in the afternoon. We 
went up town and later Cora came for here. William &
Mary here in evening. I am finishing tatting centre piece.

with The Andersons. I read some and took a sleep. 
I read in a book till bed-time. No one here at the house.
