Iowa Byington Reed diary, January 1, 1929-December 31, 1930

Page 27

Tuesday May 14th 1929
I was busy with crotcheting and cut out my Kimono. 
It rained part of the day.  I went after my teeth at four 
oclock. After supper wrote Edith Mason.  I had a letter from 
her today and from Betty Boswell and Louie Bremner.
Wednesday May 15th 1929
I sewed all day on my Kimono and got it done.  
Had a nice letter from Nellie. Hattie & Robert 
came for me in the evening to go to the S.U.I play 
"Pygmalion".  It was so good. Weather unseasonably cool.
Thursday May 16th 1929
I did some sewing and was uptown in the forenoon  
Read a little in PM.  After supper Rob & Hattie came for 
me to go to The Church to see Russell Hunter ordained 
as a minister.  Beautiful service.  Alberta got here this 
afternoon.  LeGrand comes June 1st.  Letter from Ida.
Friday May 17th 1929
I did some washing.  Went up to the Furniture store 
and bought a desk for myself.  I rested some in 
the afternoon and read in the evening after going over to Byingtons with Hattie alone.
Saturday May 18, 1929
I ironed after changing the hem on my silk kimono.
Then I cleaned out the desk and the man brought my new 
one.  I wrote Ida & Nellie before time to go out Fannies 
to the party.  Cora took Hattie & me over. Such a nice 
time.  Mrs Volland brought us home.  We had supper and went 
to the picture show of Abies Irish Rose.  Then she went home. 
I did some errands on the way down.
