I went downtown in p.m. with the washing and Pearl Wren came home with me to stay all night. Rained at night. Talked with Bill in evening.

Awful warm. First Band Concert in Park but I did not go. Ella and Chester came up in p.m. also Earl. We had planned to go riding in p.m. but all of the liveries were at Joe Serr's funeral. Too bad. Bill waited for Bessie (?) and I in Vernon. Ha! Ha!
