time for the "last car". Everyone said they had a good time. Mama & I straightened things & washed the dishes afterwards. I didn't go to bed till 1:30 nor to sleep till much later. Dec. 13. Fri. The thirteenth & Friday! A lovely day as to weather. I was used up tho'. Mama took my picture this noon - looking out the parlor window (a sort of experiment) I was so ill I came home in a car at 3:30 & went right to bed & when I got to sleep didn't wake up till 7 - when I felt much better. The family were astonished to see me appear - not knowing I was in the house. I sat in the kitchen (where Mama was fixing a Christmas box for the negroes and read Owen Wister's Xmas story in Harper's weekly to night. Wrote a "character" for Ned to the Margaret Louisa. Dec. 14 Sat. A beautiful day & I feel much better, tho' I had no luck shopping this noon. Tonight tho' I went to Gorton & McCabe's & bought Ned a snake candle stick (brass) & a blue & white candle for it - also a vase for Mae. Stopped at Bullard's for a jar of Apricot I am to send Helen Davis.
