's birthday - treated to ice cream. Had a long talk with Frank Davis - just back from Bedford with Frances & with Miss Gould in Scrantom's whose brother has just taken a fine position in Albany. Tonight read "Keziah" after our late supper. Made a short call at Carings - (Moyer called) Sun 1911 I woke up at 6 (in the den) to find a regular blizzard outside. This Easter morning! Later the sun melted the snow - but it was cold (& beautiful.) We had such a good dinner at CFB's - strawberry shortcake for desert. Expected Frances D. but she didn't come. Claude gave the boys some beautiful aeroplanes from Schwartz's (& some box cars) I did their bee - & stork - bibs. We had a lovely afternoon. Tonight read my belovedest novel "Peter Ibbetson" Tues 1912 Reports confirmed this morning that the huge steamer "Titanic" was sunk by an iceberg yesterday - on her maiden voyage with about 1400 people. Over 800 were saved. She cost $10,000,000. It is tre- mendous! a lovely day today. Lunched with Bess & Mary at Sibley's. They say Mrs. Davis told "Rastus" Frank Davis & Zoe Parker are engaged! Claude went to Geneseo today. I was "comfortably busy". Read & wrote tonight. Mrs. Baker's birthday. Wed. 1913 Lydia

came back from Washington and has a room (which I got her at $1.50) at Mrs. Lawrence's. We went over & sat on the edge of her bed a little while tonight. Thurs 1914 Rain & rain. Cold & horrid. Lunched with Florence at Sibley's & rode home in the Ford with Jimmy. Played flinch tonight - all four. Ruth DuRoe still "Mumpy".
