367DECEMBER 24 Sat 1910 Aunt Mio Caswell died this morning. Gurdon telephoned. I had a happy Xmas eve - no Cutler feeling (!) My "boss" is a dear. I worked till about 4 this pm. Then went to the Hippo. and then to Alice Bradshaw's & Davis's with packages. Had a chat with Helen (Jane Armstrong a minute!) and Francey. After supper mother & I went to Cro'nest with 24 lbs of Xmas. Kissed the babies goodnight - filled the stockings - trimmed the tree. Claude went to an Arnold Daly "[illegible] night." - Chat & Helen came later, & then Mother & I went to [illegible] & saw the tree & had coffee & cake. Then our present time after 12. Sun 1911 More rain & we almost decided not to stay over. Had Ernest at 9:30 & went to the fort to see the parade (fine - with such a drummer) to the soldiers lunch and then after a little drive to the band concert at the fort. Spent a quiet afternoon outdoors. Walked around the point beyond Millbrook. Had a long talk with Mrs. Pitman on the Millbrook piazza at evening. The children dined in their rooms & went night to sleep. We hung & filled their stockings. Later helped trim Irvings Christian tree. Tues 1912 Rather dull at the office.
