Friday, February 23                Nothing worth telling about.  Hazel was down.  It rained.  I went to Burnett’s and got my book.

Saturday, February 24                        Please excuse bad writing (before and now)  Tried to skate to-day Ha ! Ha! Terrible.  War undecided.  What I want at this time.  Saddle, revolver, Wrist watch, rifle, book case, 4 books, horse, boat, tennis court, good skates.  Clarence Foster is 22 years old today.  Fine day.  Snowed at dusk.  Nothing new.  Started a corset cover yoke.  Suffrage – woman suffrage is now allowed.  If we go to war I’ll be ambulance dr.

Thursday, March 1                  Beautiful weather

Friday, March 2                      We went to Webster this morning (for I skipped school) in a wagon from there to the city.  I saw Ben Hur.  It was great, but not my style.  350 actors, 20  horses.  Scenery was beautiful.  We stayed at the Chapman House and I do not remember eating such a hearty supper for years.  We saw Alice Joyce and Mrs. Vernon Castle in “Patria” at the Piccadilly.  Great place.

Saturday, March 3                  Father went to Buffalo at 8.  Mother and I shopped.  Went to Grange in the afternoon.  Rained.  Staid to social evening and dance.  Saw Julia M. looking fine.  Came home with Earl.

Sunday, March 4         Awful lonesome day.  Snowed mostly.  No, it was bitter cold.

Monday, March 5       Went to school.  Walpuskie’s place is advertised.  Had arithmetic test.  Snowed

Tuesday, March 6       Now I will surely keep my resolution and write so one can read my writing.  No-No one will ever look at this I am sure.  It is not exciting.  We were going to Aunt Dice Wrights tonight surprise party – but we didn’t and I was sad, awfully sorry and angry, for if I had known it I could have brought some thing home to do.  Never mind.  Gladys Short  - Pug- for short – laughed so hard in class to-day that we laughed too.  She said “He went away and looked for all the world like a bulldog “ so I called Gladys Short “Bully”.  Edith Dunn nearly  “split”” The weather was fine.  Yesterday I received my report card  -  all A’s.
