Thursday May 17th 1923
I did some washing in AM and cleaned up my
part of the house. We went to Fannies to a luncheon at
one oclock. Very pleasant. A fine bright day. I came
home about four oclock. In the evening Hattie and I
went to a play "The Copperhead" by S U I students.
Friday May 18th 1923
All the things here brought up from Fannies in the
forenoon to entertain here at 5 oclock. There were
about 50 ladies here. After they were gone the girls
re-arranged tables and got some things ready for tomorrow.
Saturday May 19th 1923
The girls had the same number of ladies at
luncheon today. The weather was good and every
thing passed of nicely. A letter from Sue & Sallie today.
Sunday May 20th 1923
It was late when we got up. Hattie to S S and
church. William & Mary in for things of theirs. I
wrote to Laura. After dinner I rode out to Hedges
with Otts folks. They were going to Cedar Rapids.
Wrote Ida later. Hattie gone to church in evening.
Monday May 21st 1923
The washing was done and I was busy about the
back part of the house. The girls away. I met
\Hattie in town in afternoon after I had been to
The Cemetery with Rob and we selected bed room
furniture for myself. Mary was driving for Fannie
so we came home with them. To town with Cora after supper for books.
