Belle and Ella S. up here all day and Belle washed my hair. In evening Earl and I went to Herbert's 17th birthday surprise party. Had a good time. Did not get the milk. Got home at 2:30.

I walked downtown in p.m. and ate supper at Ella S. Went to O.E.S. party in The Armory with Earl in evening. Intended to stay down all night but he had a rig so came home. Seal Morse and Rose Nixon missed the car so rode home with us. E: "Seal kissed you." Ha! Ha! Jealous. Got home at 3:30.

Walked downtown in p.m. and expected to get my jacket but it wasn't done. Ella S. and I had sort of a spat. In evening went to party in Opera House with Earl D. Had a dandy time.

Snowed a little all day. Rec'd letters from M.A. and Ella S. Ans'd H.H. and W.H. letters. Chilt over in p.m. Grandma mad and hardly said a word all day. She can get over it just as soon as she wants to for all I care.
