June 8, 1914

Friday evening was spent at Mrs. Hull's and at home. In the afternoon after we took our baths we went over to Gerke's. No one came to the door so we went over to Mrs. Wait's. Pretty soon Mrs. Gerke telephoned over there and said that she was out in the back yard when we came and Irene was upstairs and thought she would open the door. Later on we went back there. Mrs. Gerke showed me a new crocheted lace.

Sat. morning Gladys came in after Helen and me and we started out at about 9 a.m. Got there about 10. We had a fine time. Late in the afternoon Helen, Gladys, Adele, Cecil and I went down to the school house and played school. We had lots of fun even if it was a baby game. When we came back Cecil took Helen and me to see an army worm and a chinch bug. Helen took a ride on Prince and when she got back Evelyn and I had one. After supper we played statue until Aunt Lella called us in to get ready for bed. Helen, Gladys, Adele and I were to sleep together on the floor. We got all ready for bed and then with nothing on but our nightgowns and shoes, took a stroll to the well. We went to sleep about 11 p.m. Long before the next morning Helen and I bumped heads and woke up. After a long time Gladys and Adele woke and then we had a big time till Aunt Lella called us to get up. Helen, Gladys and I came in the buggy. Helen and I felt cheap in meeting with our sporting garb on. She had a 10-cent hat. I had my prayer meeting hat and my middy. Louise was there. She said she didn't know whether she'd go home today or stay all week. Adele stayed in with Ruth. Yesterday afternoon I slept from 2 till 4:30. We were about done up.

Well, I'm supposed to be mopping the bathroom floor so I guess I'd better get at it.
