had stopped & invited us, we all went down to "Jacob's' Hall" to
an impromptu musical performance. The men came later. They sang a
number of popular songs & choruses in which we all joined "My
Louisiana Love" "Girl Wanted", "Just tell
them that you 'saw me" &c. &c. Miss Iles sat next me & was very
entertaining. A Mr. Sumner
(a handsome man) sang a song dedicated to
Mrs. Perrin - and another song, playing
his own accompaniaments. He had a lovely voice - the kind to sing
love-songs - Miss Iles says. She thinks,
as I do that Mrs. P. must have
been a very beautiful girl "She uses her eyes so -" &c. She also
thinks Wiltsie "the last man she
should imagine Mrs. Wolfe would marry"! It had
cleared off beautifully when we came out. Wiltsie weighed Mrs. Miller & me
while Alice made some purchases. I
weigh 130 (!) and Mrs. M. 128. Then we went to the
P.O. and had a nice chat with
Mr. Day there. After dinner I wrote to Mary
and about 2:30 Alice, Wiltsie, Ruth(!)
Miss Iles and Gurdon & I started for a ball- game on the hill, but
couldn't find one. Met Hester
