Page 69

Saturday January 19th 1924
I did some washing and wrote to Hattie in forenoon.
I was not able to go down town with Mrs Falk in the
afternoon. Read some. Ate little supper and to bed early.
Sunday January 20th 1924
I did not go to S S and church with The Falks. When they
came home Mr & Mrs Cleveland came in their car and
as soon as we could eat dinner all went to Leesburg to a
lecture. We passed through Mt Dora and Eustice. It was
a wonderful trip. Got home at 8 oclock and had lunch here.
Monday January 21st 1924
It was cold today. We went to town soon after dinner.
Attended the picture show "The Eternal City." I had letter
from Hattie and one from Ott with bank statement.
Tuesday January 22nd 1924
I finished Mrs Falks bag before we went down town
in afternoon to make calls. Wrote Edith Whetstone.
We came home rather early as Mr Falk was with us.
Wednesday January 23rd 1924
I wrote to Hattie and Aunt Emma and after early
dinner we took Mr Falk to the fair grounds. When we
came back I spent afternoon at Pickens. We had supper
in town and went to Science meeting. Letter from Fannie & Winnie
Thursday January 24th 1924
We took our dinner and spent most of the day at
the new fair grounds. They surely got it ready quickly.
I was very tired and went to bed soon after supper. I
had letters from Hattie and Lydia. A warm day.
