pedro Club was at Mary's. I got there first - then Mr. Lee. Played with Charlie Griswold & made a very good score at first - out N.G. after - wards. Only played 7 games. Miss Osborn substituted. Mr. Cromley has taken Jack Ballagh's place. I enjoyed myself very much. The prizes were lovely - a palm - a pack of cards in seal leather case - a gift frame & a funny negro pen-wiper - Mrs. Severance & Miss Ettes got the first & Miss French & Mr. Bristol the others. We had supper at two tables - with dinner-cards & quotations. I sat between Mr. McLoughlin & Mr. Cromley, with Severance, & Griswold & Misses. French, Laura Collings & Emma Mac the others. We had a very jolly time. Mr.S. insisted that I picked out his verse. About "his hair ain't cut, but his eye teeth is!" Afterward they danced - I chatted with Mr. Drake & Miss Ettes & was persuaded to dance a square dance with Warren Fisk - Mr. Severance called off & I'm still in doubt whether it was Lancers or Prairie Queen. We went home just before one (!) W. Fisk escorted me - I wore my black dress with green velvet yoke & sleeve caps & pink carnations. Jan. 24 Friday Mary's coffee kept me awake all night but I rested. Was later this morning. J.G. is back from Albany (he went Monday morning.)
