Lilian is to come home from the hospital tomorrow. Later we met Mrs. Baker & went to the Temple Theatre to see the "Aerial Ballet" &c. Sun 1911 Very slippery this a.m. but Mother went to church. We got up late & I was busy all morning. Dined at home & this p.m. went to Davis- & saw Mrs. Davis (only) who looks very frail. Then I went to Hamilton & Milly's (met Frank & Frances on the way) They live now way up Laburnum Crescent - beyond the Pinnacle Road. Talked Hotel & pictures mostly. Staid to supper got home about 9:30. Wrote letters, cold & bleak tonight. Mon 1912 Very cold. Gurdon took Alice to the station at 10. Her train was 3 hours late, but she got another (earlier). Tonight I brought my CFB books home & worked on them till 11 or so! Wed 1913 Claude went to Albany for the day. I moved out into the draughting room and "slicked up" the office. Read a little tonight. Thurs 1914 Lovely snow storm. Breakfast (good) at 8. Then took a nice walk to the village & called on Dr. & Mrs. Andrews & Mrs. Davidson. Sunrised them.
