Page 168

Sunday March 8th 1914
It was so unpleasant with snow blowing in gusts that I
did not try to go to church. I was busy with the house work most of
the forenoon. Did a little writing and read in a good library look.
Monday March 9th 1914
I sewed a little in forenoon. I went to town at 2:15. I was at
the library to get a book and went to the Dental Clinics for
my teeth. I tried to wear them in the evening but could not do it.
Tuesday March 10th 1914
I did some sewing and fancy work. Hattie & Cora came 
out although it was snowing some in the afternoon. Rob was
out for supper and they all went back at 7:15. I read some.
Wednesday March 11th 1914
I was busy all forenoon. Went to town at 2:15. Went up to
Dental Clinic and left the teeth they made for me. They
returned the money except $1.00 and I got the teeth that were
in my old upper plate. I went to Dr Breene to have others made.
Thursday March 12th 1914
It was fine day. Cora came out with their sweater to 
work. Rob came out for his dinner. We girls went to Mrs
Robinsons in the afternoon. Cora went home at 5:15.
Friday March 13th 1914.
I sewed a little today. I went to town at 3:15 to see about
my teeth and then out to Mrs Emmons to have my dress
fitted. I did not get home till 5:40. I had a nice letter
from Nellie and wrote Ida before I went down town.
I read and made tatting in the evening. weather mild.
