Nov. 20. Friday.
Cold & pleasant - riding. Another busy day - J.W. comes tomorrow. Tonight the
12 P.L.L's met at Mabel
Rogers - I had to "hustle" to get ready - then walked to
Ned's - where I met her & Nellie Mac, (Mary
went to Lura's to tea) and Edith joined us en route. We tho't we
were late, but were the first ones there. Helen & Charlotte
came next - & the rest still later. So we didn't begin playing
till 'most 9, but played 7 games - Mary started off finely, but
Helen Davis got the prize! (a "dark
horse") Charlotte kept making
breaks - and finally broke her chair - walking around it &
knocking it over! She was filled with chagrin. A Mrs.
Pollock substituted for
Mrs Weaver. She couldn't play well & my scores
with her were only 19 and 15! I took Ned to supper - we had salted peanuts, oyster patties and
coffee - and epitaphs - Mine was = (William Wilton's)
"Here lies the body of W.W. Who never more will trouble you, trouble you".
I had another - Crump gave me - but
Helen Davis said it.
"Here lies our baby Who never squalls or hollers, He staid with us
two days And cost us forty dollars!" We were late, but I took a big
flashlight
