Clara Steen Skott diary, 1917-1921

1917-1921 - 03-02

March 2
1917. Worked on my rug. Washed. 
1918. Worked on my rug- crocheted three rows around it. Cut out and made most of a white Swiss voile waist for Helen's class day dress. Also made gipsy collar like it for myself. Letter from Zelma and circle letter. 
1919. Played 20 games of solitaire before I could break one! Hans did some cleaning up in cellar. I wrote to Edith Bliss. Hans and I walked to P.D. and to his new office on first floor in courthouse. We spent evening with Mr. and Mrs. Stewart. 
1920. I was up an hour. Adela has a cold and doesn't get very far with the straightening up. Wrote circle letter. 
1921. Mild sunny day- 55° at 2 o'clock. I did a small washing with machine, began crocheting pink yarn hood for Signe. She had colic in eve, and slept very little till 11:30. Letter from August + Anna. Wrote to Amanda.
