Later, Claude & I walked down with
Ned - said How do to Rose & then went to
Salter's & ordered some flowers sent here
& there (Matie, Lura,

Dec. 25. FridayChristmas day! Busy, busy, fixing dining room with the new
furniture, pillows, presents, popcorn - washing doileys - dressing -
&c. &c.&c. The girls came to dinner (Ned & Edith) at 3
and it was quite "swell" - turkey - ice cream - &c afterwards we
strung popcorn for the tree about 14 yards!) and talked & visited in
dining - & sitting room. Ned told
me some things about Rose. About 6
we got combed & dressed & went down to Mac Arthur's - found all the
Millers there
Warren Fisk & Harry Severance & a Xmas tree. Staid an
hour or so & had a real jolly time. The girls had pretty presents and
were delighted.
Mary got "Bob's &
Maties". The girls came back
home with me, but didn't stay. I read in "Bohemian Invaded"
(Frank Davis' present) and then
wrote 4 letters. Mary got an opera
glass with no name - & the girls think
Warren Fisk sent it. I have my doubts!
