78MARCH 18 Fri 1910. Bright & cold. President Taft came at 3:45 and Alice B & I went down & saw him pass in a daffodil covered automobile. He looked fine. I lunched at Sibley's with Charlotte & Lura & tonight went to the Knickerbocker & then down to Edith's (Miss Hosey was there of course) and she went to Miss Maise's sale with me. We had a long visit with Mrs. M. very tired when I got home - accounts &c and now a hot bath. Sat 1912 Claude came home from N.Y. with 80 pages of specifications to write. Busy all day (home at noon) dined at Sibley's with Chat, Mary& Nellie & afterward, strolled around & went to "Little Miss Fix it" at the Lyceum - real cute remarks. Pretty Clothes - light & frivolous perform- ance. Claude was at Harry's new home - fine. Mon 1912 Nice bright day - busy - This noon I went to the p.o. & got the Khudkar's box from India ($4.43 duty) Full of odd brass things - Alabaster (broken) &c. Tonight Mother & I went to Miss Bridgman's (the dress maker's) & down to Edna's new house corner of Glendale Park - very nice indeed for them Tues 1913 Coralyn
