Thursday October 8th 1914
I did some ironing in the forenoon and got my dinner
I was over to Janes of an errand. Went for my treatment
and came home to do my fancy work. To Janes in evening.
Friday October 9th 1914
I washed a few more pieces and got the dinner.
There was a strong wind blowing today. I came
right home from my treatment and laid down awhile.
I wrote Cora before supper. I have not heard from
home this week. We went over to Janes in the evening.
Saturday October 10th 1914
I did a lot of baking and cleaning. Will was out with
Art Mc-- all forenoon as he is every day. I went for
my treatment and then on down town for some
things I needed. It was a fine day. I had a letter
from Hattie. We were over to Janes in the evening.
Sunday October 11th 1914
I have taken cold and do not feel very well. I
wrote to Fannie in forenoon and got the dinner.
I went up to "The Art Institute" in afternoon to a meeting
of the religious sect that Mary Woolf belongs to. Stopperd at
Janes and Will came on to the rooms with me. Read in evening.
Monday October 12th 1914
There was a change in the weather and I felt so
badly with my cold I was not out all day. I wrote
some and worked on my tatting. Will about the
house most of the day. Mrs Phillips put a stove in front room.
