Dear Diary:
Danies' children have been up here about all day as usual. I have been sitting in the swing reading a True Story magazine that Frances brought home. She didn't stay long. Mother is papering the little bed room. Beulah came home a few minutes ago with Benson. This is K. E. A. week and she won't have to go to school any more this week.

Dear Diary:
Beulah and I cleaned off the yard this morning and Artie ironed for Mother. Mother is finishing papering. I read some this morning but went up to Mrs. Betty's this afternoon. Mrs. Betty showed me a little corwn of feather that was sound in the pillow that Mr. Lantaff died on. The feathers were packed together like a tiny birds nest. Hubert and Tommie stopped by a few minutes tonight and Beulah went home with them. She is going from there to Hopkinsville to visit Pauline.

April 15th, Wednesday
Dear Diary:
I got up this morning and found that Beulah had taken my dress that Bonnie gave me. Also my slippers and a new pair of hoses. We have been trying to clean house a little today. I spent what time ( spare time ) I have sitting in the swing on the front porch. I have just finished writing a letter to Bonnie and to Buster and am very tired writing. Artie, Mother and I are going down to Dany's' awhile tonight to see how he is. He is sick.

I mailed my letters this morning and then Artie and I went down to Mrs. Minnie Kirkwood's to pick some turnip greens. Audrey and Magaline has been here nearly all day and mother went down there awhile. Artie and Mother played some cards this afternoon. Its usually tight games.

Dear Diary:
I sent off a slip today for information about music lessons. I have always wanted to take piano lessons but they cost too much. Marvin came down this morning and got me to back a envelope to Buster for him. He wrote and told him about passing the diploma examination. Mother fried Some wild onions today that were awful good. I beat Artie this afternoon playing cards.

Dear Diary:
Marvin came down this afternoon and he, Artie, Mother and I played cards. The mail man didn't even stop at our box this morning. That is something very uncommon. Magaline Ridley, Rosemary and Chester's little girl, Nanny Sue have been here today. Magaline's boy, Arthur Lee, is a great big boy now. Mrs. Betty is staying all night with us.
