Edith's at 5:30 - To try on my new dress skirt &
half expecting to go - Harry
& Ida & Will Wray did, but we didn't. Edith made me stay to tea, however &
we sat on the steps till almost dark, when she walked up with me (We
led Diana.) Stopped at
Mary's and had a nice hour's
chat on the piazza.
Mary in white muslin & looking
sweet. Then Edith walked up with
me & took the car home.
Aug 13. Tues.Lovely day. Papa
went back to Oswego
on the boat. Mary wanted me to
ride to the Beach, but I persuaded her the park was better - and we
rode out there about 7 - or before. Met Jack
Ballagh riding in & he turned around & came with
us. We sat on our "river bench" an hour, while he told us funny
stories about his Keuka vacation & we
told stories too. The river & the sky & the foliage were all
beautiful and the autumn suggesting haze is beginning to be evident.
It was a lovely spot. We rode back together in the late dusk and sat
on Mary's piazza for a half-hour's
visit before we came home. Read later.
Aug. 14. Wed.
A letter from Ned leads me to expect
her today or tomorrow & Edith
came in this p.m.
