Page 123

Friday October 22nd 1926
I did my ironing. Dr Falchler called to see me
and I paid him a small bill. I walked over to
Harty McKinstrys. She had a regular party and
a fine dinner. There was Mrs Clarke, McClay, Woolf,
Hatton, Mount, Bailey, Culbertson, McKinstry, Taylor,
[Armacost?]. Lizzie Duncan and myself at table. We
saw The High School Parade pass. Later I went to look
at The Sunderland home. Richard took me home.
The girls except Edith went to The High School Circus.
I did my packing in the evening. A delightful day.
Saturday October 23rd 1926
I had Mr Albers take me to the station. I got
a ticket that I could check my suit case home.
While waiting in Bloomington wrote a letter to
Emily Toon. Had a good train to Chicago from
there. From Union Station went directly to Winnies
in a taxi. Spent the evening at Fred Givens near by.
Sunday October 24th 1926
Winnie and I went out to Austin to church. Met a
friend of Winnies that we went home with for
dinner. Later we walked a few blocks to Warner
McCalls home where we made a house call.
He was sitting in a chair and gets about on crutches.
A couple of his sons were there. Mable was obliged
to be away. When we came home I wrote Hattie
and Lydia. The evening spent in visiting.
A cold cloudy day.
