just now also enamored of Edith - at least Edith is one of her enthusiasms. I am no good at describing - or at analyzing - but she's a girl who is as plain to me as an open book - just this first time I've seen her - she'd never "keep me guessing" as Con used to say. We came back to the Earth at last (or I did) and strolled back to the car, Edith and I riding back- ward facing a most glorious sunset, all the way. The Heavens do certainly "declare the Glory of God" Sometimes, just as "The Firmament shows his handiwork"
- and when earthley worries are to be made trivial the way is to contemplate the Heavens and the Firmament (N.B. I've tried it!) We got very much down to Earth when we went to "Jerry Flynns" to supper, but found they only served "lunches" now - but not bad ones. Then we went out on the Cottage Esplanade - opposite the lake and sat on a very dewy seat, very close together and hated to go home, till we were so sleepy we had to. We didn't wait for fireworks. Aug. 27. Sun. Another almost perfect day. Went over to the Carings with Mother right after break- fast. (Mrs. C. sent for us to see the flowers) Ray died Friday morning having been sick since a year ago last March with very serious Kidney trouble. (one Kidney was removed last fall) He was a brave, cheerful soul.
