It has been a long time since I wrote anything in a diary but I think I'll start over now. I started a book last summer and lost it (just my luck). Well, I neglected getting another and there are a whole lot of good times that I didn't get to record. There were the Moss Grove picnic (I don't think I put that in volume 1) and all kinds of fine times last summer besides that terrible day playing at the fair and having the girls Monday before last, and that Halloween evening at Ina's. Well, I'm going to put that in right now.
Two or three days before Halloween I got an envelope with (inside it of course) a black cat n a pumpkin. I think I have it now. If I have I'll put it in my keep-sake box. On the back of the pumpkin was written this verse:
"Assemble, assemble ye ghosts,
With Dame Witch and her cat as hosts.
At 7:30 on Friday night
To make merry by the dim weird light."
410 N. Spruce St.
I recognized Ina's handwriting immediately and of course I went. We were all dressed like ghosts and Ina was dressed like a witch. We had lots of fun. Mama told me and Irene to meet her at Mrs. Stewart's at 9:30. We went at 10:30. Those present were Irene, Blanche, Frances, Virginia, Pearl Riley, Ina and I.
We have been cleaning house all day. I'm awful tired and Mama promised Mrs. Clarkson we'd come up this evening. I guess I'll have to.
