The days scoot along so fast I don't get near the things done I want to. Ironed Wednesday a.m. and entertained an old man -- he must have been in his seventies. He was taking orders for dress goods. I ordered some tan for a dress for myself, yellow for a dress for Bricky. I finished my ironing stint in the p.m. & mended. I got back Lesson 20 and got 96, mostly favorable criticisms. Every lesson, when I first look at it, I feel positive I never can do it, but I do and guess I don't do so bad.
Yesterday I started to iron & "it" went on the ping-a-ling, so just did my Friday's cleaning -- also bathroom. John had ordered me a new iron & board Wednesday. It came about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon & I made use of it immediately. I wrote & mailed letters to Virgil & Zella & sent the American to Mama. I got a letter from Bernice -- very interesting! Just think! She's ridden up "Fifth Avenue" on top of a bus! Harold Anderson was so anxious to sell John a car last night, he actually came to the house. It is an Essex Touring for $300. May take it if they'll (Pete) hold it 'til we get the down payment. Just because I haven't mentioned her, don't think Ruth hasn't been in this week because she has. Albert was in one evening, too.
Finished my ironing this morning and cleaned the dining room. I got a letter from Mama and she said Aunt Minnie was coming to Topeka tomorrow noon & would come here sometime. Neil is ahead in his class. One time this week he was two stars ahead. They started getting stars in arithmetic -- when they get something no one else gets, they get a star. That's "how come" the spurt ahead. It has rained off and on all day today -- and the kids are quite fierce (especially Bricky) when they have to stay in. I am crocheting some insets -- to put in some pillow slips I am planning to make Babe for her birthday. I am reading Colliers for May 2.
