Page 127

Sunday November 7th 1926
It was late when we had breakfast. I washed the
dishes and Hattie went to S S. I went to church by
street car. Ott brought us home. Cora had dinner
ready. Lillian not here. I slept awhile in afternoon
and wrote Winnie and Gertrude Mitchell. weather cloudy.
Monday November 8th 1926
It was a dark rainy day. I was sewing for
myself. Hattie went to The Home to a meeting
and Shakespeare Club. Cora to a tea. I had a
letter from Mattie Stitt. She is still in Los Angeles. I
wrote her husband in evening. Listened to Radio.
Tuesday November 9th 1926
It snowed last night and turned cold. I was
sewing for myself all day. Hattie down town in
the morning and out to supper. Cora not well
today. I wrote Mattie Stitt and Joe Woolf.
Wednesday November 10th 1926
I went down town in a taxi before noon. I was
at Otts office and got lunch later. Did some
shopping. I looked at a fur coat. Then went to
Mrs Bradways for an hour before going to
the church to meet Hattie for annual Missionary
meeting. She went with me to look at the coat.
I decided to take it and trade in my old one.
We came home by street car. Listened to
Radio music all evening.
