a canal boat (the "Frank Washer") & staid all night. Sept 21. Tuesday. Pleasant & still cool. I entertained the "Twelve Perfects" tonight, and they were all here & we had a real jolly time. We had a little fire in the grate. This noon I went up the river road & gathered golden rod & Asters &c. for a big bouquet & we had nastertiums & to eat, ice cream & angel's food & black chocolate cake. Charlotte got the first prize - a cast - three singing cupids heads - & Mabel the booby - "Bab Ballad". Afterwards I took a flashlight picture, but it was so long going off & Mama acted so funny. We nearly all get to laughing over it. Sept. 22 Wed. A lovely day & warmer. Yesterday noon I was trying to get Helen Davis's picture on her wheel - & she didn't come up right - so I didn't snap it the first time & she escaped. Later Mr. DeGraff appeared & I snapped him instead. Lura is with Mr. Latimore, who has our new little store - No. 44, & we are quite neighborly. Tonight Mrs. Weaver entertained the "Twelve Perfects". I went over with Mary & Nellie. Found Charlotte was sick & couldn't come - a Miss MacDonald supplied. Enjoyed most of the evening very much, but my old tooth began to ache toward the last. I almost got the prize (I really did at our house.) May Rogers got it, & Matie the booby.
