Page 66

Saturday November 25th 1916
I was busy with the house work most of the forenoon.
I took a few finishing stitches on my dress so I wore it
to town in afternoon. It was Home Coming day and the last
football game of the eason. There was a big crowd in
town. I came home at 4:30. Wrote Lyida & Ida in the evening.
Sunday It was a fairly nice day. Will & I went to church and
walked over to Otts. Will & Emily Bremmer were there. We
had such a good visit. We rode home with the Jones in
their new Auto. I did up 5 of Otts pictures in the evening
and wrote to Sue & Sallie, Alice Siebert, Art Robinson, Mrs Brown and Maurice Culbertson.
Monday November 27th 1916
I washed some in the morning and went to town at
1:15. Did some errands. Got to Mrs Smith. I stopped at
Leslie's office and got my teeth. They were $50.00. I was over
to Aunt Emmas to see The Wedding presents. very beautiful.
Tuesday November 28th 1916
I ironed and did housework all forenoon. I walked up to
see Mrs Dennis. She had come down to Mrs Millers. I
stopped there till supper time. A perfectly beautiful day.
Wednesday November 29th 1916
I went down to Hattie's for the day. Will stayed to split
thje wood he had sawed yesterday. The Whetstones
went to Cedar Rapids to meet Cora. I rode to town with them.

teeth. The car was late Will had supper when I got there.
