June 26. Friday
Another lovely day. Ned & I rode
over to Davis'. We stopped for
Mary (or I
did) but she was sick & couldn't go. Papa went on the car. Ned,
Helen,
Frank, Papa, Mr. Davis,
Charlotte & I walked up to
the top of Cobb's Hill and there sat
down to view the "view" - which was gorgeous - away to the east &
south lay the lovely Genesee Valley - all blue
& green & dark. Then around south west was the Pinnacle - green
& beautiful - the "edge" of it. Then all the western part
stretched the dark sky. The skyline irregular with spires & towers
against a beautiful red after- glow. And over to the north a ribbon of
blue lake. It was certainly a magnificent sight - and we sat &
watched till little jewels of electric lights broke out in the dark city,
beginning over north & appearing here & there and everywhere -
down below our feet almost. There was a continual - crawl - of wheels -
trying the new side path - Culver St. When we got
back to the house we went in and Kate & Mr. Davis
entertained us. I looked at the "Vassarion" (the Vassar
Annual) with Kate's picture & lots of
funny things in it. We started home rather late (Frank with us.) and flying along on my
wheel I felt less a bird than I did on the hill top with Charlotte - deciding on which steeple we
would light if we had wings.

Another lovely day - but warm. After a little shopping I rode home
quite tired. Had dinner, washed my hair and then spent about 3 hours
upstairs making a light flannel dressing sacque - which I finished
and which is very pretty. Ned came up after
supper & we
