The Websters went home at 6:45. We visited till bed-time. Monday January 21st 1918 The day did not amount to much for things accomplished. I had to take our part of the center piece I had made. The afternoon I spent in doing some mending. We had a letter from Hattie & Ott. The paper came too. a cold day.
