from the Library. Nells got a beau & so I am going to bed. Wednesday Aug. 11th 75 I am 13 years old today. I got up before Nellie did & practiced 1 hour before 9 A.M. besides being pounded by Allie, Grace, Linn & Louise. Then I put away the clean clothes fixed the boquets in the sitting room & helped do the chamber work. After dinner Allie, Grace, Linn, May, Gracie & I went out riding. We did not get home till 6 P.M. After supper (we all ate together) we went over to Mr. Hardies & began a game of croquet about 7 oclock. (Allie, May & Grace against Mr. Hardie, Linn & I.) We did not get through till 10 P.M. We won. May made me a present of some lovely roman ribbons.
