and Mr & Mrs Bangs & I sat down to dinner
together. The dinner was very nice & went off very well.
Mrs. Bangs refused about every other course &
Mr. Dean
took two helpings of each. Lincoln was prominent
but cute, & Mr. Bangs gracious. Afterward there
was a little music & then the maid lit the grate fire &
Mr. Bangs read aloud to us - very well -
Kipling's "Recessional", Shelley's
"Skylark" & "Westwind" &c. Then
"Billy
",
the baby, was brought down & was talked to & admired & we saw
the game of Klon- dyke and about five I came away & went
over to see Mae and John. They had just come in from a walk
& were fresh & bright & we had a jolly time & getting
supper and eating it in the kitchen and talking over the Vagabonds & the Scrapbook etc.etc. Came
home to find the Davis' had been there
Nov. 22 Monday
to tease me to go to Europe. Helen was up in the office this morning,
too. It was a nice day. I rode Diana and
did errands &c. this noon, but tonight I got caught in a snowstorm
going home - & then had to start out again after supper, with
Mama to go to Maggie
McKinnon's about her fur collar. The old lady was very
entertaining (we had to wait) and told us all about her early
experiences up in the Georgian Bay country
&c.&c.
Con was here - studying banjo, when we
got back. He has just gone away, saying he'd have to "graft on a new
finger for that last chord"!
