My folks came home. M. and I went to meet Mama in evening and saw Walt. Nearly had a collision with a telephone pole when we met the street car. Walt, M., and I went over to Owosso to the carnival and it was fine. "Drunken man." "Pass the beer." Ha! Ha! Pie! Pie! Earl and Walt brought us girls home and took the horse back with them.

My folks went to the lakes in a.m. and left us all alone. Walt called up in a.m. Had a ride in the automobile from Hawkins.
