Friday afternoon, I wrote letters to Bernice and Emily D. Friday night I read some in the W. Home Comp. That last isn't true -- for I went "out" again. I went to a concert with Mrs. Luce and "Aunt Maggie" at the Auditorium. It was by the H.S. Students and was certainly fine. There was a band, an orchestra, a Boys' Glee & Girls' Glee, a saxaphone choir all trained by a woman. One girl played a violin solo -- fine! One played a flute solo -- also good, and a girl sang a solo -- I didn't care much for her.
Saturday noon, Herman came for us, but Daddy had so much "business", we got startede rather late -- it was 3 o'clock when we got to Johnsons and it turned cold on the way. In the evening, Daddy kept the kids & Clara & I went to town (Scranton) with Herman. We stopped at Josephine's. Albert took Betty & went out & stayed with John & Josephine. Clara & I went to the show. It was Bebe Daniels & Richard Dix in "Sinners in Heaven." Sure was keen! Forgot to say that Herman & his girl Mildred Riley of Carbondale came to Albert's for us. Then when we got to town we went to a friend of J's for her hat & Bebe Brackman was there. After the show, we went & had something to drink & Leo & his girl came in. She is a Swede and real sweet looking. Herman took us out home & then Albert & family went home. I sure did love Daddy Sat. nite -- most I have since Neil was born. Seemed like olden times. Bricky fussed in the night & I had to take her in bed with me -- four in the bed wasn't very comfortable. Of course Agnes & family had to come over for dinner. Immediately afterwards, Daddy, Herman & Leo went fishing. Agnes didn't like it very well, but think Daddy did it partly for orneryness. Oscar & family came over in the afternoon. Eskel & Oscar weighted the eight kids and here they are: Clarence 7 1/2 years -- 55; Neil 6 1/2 years -- 49, Clyde 6 -- 47, Bricky almost 4 -- 29, Helen 3 1/2 -- 29, Earlene 3 -- 36; Jackie almost 2 -- 29, Clayton almost 2 -- 34. Bricky seems to be the lightest for her age, and aren't Oscar's kids big! We left about six o'clock -- stopped at Carbondale for Herman's girl and she went too. When we got here, we fried some fish & ate them (forgot to say they got quite a bunch). Herman & Mildred left about 8:30 -- she is a junior in H.S. and Herman has been going with her for about two years.
Monday morning, early, "my old man" came with my goods so I sewed on Bricky's new yellow dress in the morning & finished Lesson 22 in the afternoon. I got a letter from Helen Larremore & she is getting another divorce. I wonder what's wrong with her or the men she gets! I washed today & it was a it warmer. I guess it frosted Sunday night. I finished Bricky's dress this afternoon, but buttonholes. Got a letter from Grandma Hayson -- such a nice one from such a nice person! Have embroidered some on the dress Mama gave me.
