angels - food. We went right back (6:30 car) & to the
Brick Church to evening service (the girls
dragged me!) & after that I went to Mary's for supper - including raw onions & root beer!
I was a wreck by time I reached home.
Apr. 19. Mon.
Cool again & snowed! Quite disagreeable.
Mary& I went to see Francis
Wilson in "Half a King". He was very funny &
fine. Lulu Glaser too - & the whole opera.
Wilson's wife & two children were in the box with
Gus. Mc- Donald & his wife and Dr. Ewer & Mr. Rich
sat behind us & talked to us. We both enjoyed the opera
especially because Wilson is on nearly all the time & funny
every minute.
Apr. 20. Tuesday
The eventful day of the "Grand Ball". Had to hustle
around & "shop" all noon. Geo.
Humphrey was up in Claude's
office & had had calls from Francis Wilson. In fact, he
had written on the "Vagabond" wall some-
thing in French which means - "It is only a step from the Sublime to
- Frances Wilson"!
Papa went to Watertown
yesterday. Mama
went to the "Ball" with me tonight. She went as a
trained nurse (Sarah Sticking Plaster) and I as "Mary
& her little Lamb." - Mary (in Scotch costume - Kilt
&c.) and Nellie ("Willie
Piffkow" complete) were in the car with us & Mrs.
Weaver ("Gretchen")
Lura ("Fra. Diavalo") &
Mrs. Baker ("Pitti
Sing") came in with us. Matie had
a stunning pink - "Barbara" costume. Ray
Arnold opened the
1897
angels - food. We went right back (6:30 car) & to the
Brick Church to evening service (the girls
dragged me!) & after that I went to Mary's for supper - including raw onions & root beer!
