Aunt Louise's family over all day.  In afternoon I went downtown.  Went to P.O. and met Altea Armstrong.  Up to Belle's all night.  Went to Club at Mable Wallace's and we dressed as little girls.  I got 1st prize for putting puzzle together first.  Am. Beauty rose.  Dudecks over in evening but I wasn't here.  "Teddie bears and dolls."

Transcriber's notes:

"Aunt Louise" is Grace's mother's sister, Louise Rigoulot.  She married Lewis Pardonnet in 1897 when she was 18 years old.  They had 4 children: Minnie, Samuel, Clarence, and Eugene.  The Pardonnet family lived relatively close by to Grace's home and visited frequently.

the Dudecks referenced here are possibly John H and Eva D Dudeck, since Grace mentions visiting Eva Dudeck personally on July 6.

Mabel Wallace lives in city of Corunna.  She is 22 years old and in the 1910 census, she is still living in Corunna with her parents and siblings.

Belle is referenced 43 times in Grace's diary, but her identity is a mystery!

Altea Armstrong is another mystery.

Grace refers to her "club" every now and then.  I don't know the details of her club, though it appears it is not the Priscillas club or other women's club that is often referenced in the Corunna Journal.
