To-day is Decoration Day. Papa took Zella and I to the walk, then he went back and got Mama, Aunt Bessie, Bernice, Baby, Billie & D.W. Jr. and took them to Grandma H's. Aunt Minnie, Uncle Jim and Homer came down. We all went to the cemetery except Papa. He went home and worked. We stayed at Grandma's for dinner (except Zella. She stayed at Beulah's.) then after dinner Mama, Grandma, Grandpa & I went down to the hall to hear Major Harvey from Topeka talk. I saw Miss Hepworth. Mr. Harvey spoke of a certain man in his speech and after he got thru' and the choir was singing he went down in the audience and asked this man to talk. He did, but he didn't say much. He was in the Spanish-American War. I guess Maj. Harvey was too. Papa came after us in the carriage. Aunt Minnie, Homer and Uncle Jim went back to Topeka to-night. Zella went to the Majestic.
