Sunday, October 1
Got up early and had breakfast. Down at 8:30 to practice. Went into drug store to find out what time we were going. Geo was out. Mel and Kizer were going in AM. I went to SS and played songs. Geo came about 1. We went to Ramona. Quite dusty. Lots of Avant people there. Miss Kizer (Muriel) sat in buggy with me. Geo bummed around. Muriel went and got a drink. After the game, we went to the drug store. Started to stay for supper, but decided it would make us too late. We went to hotel to wait. Geo went after team (of horses). Told him to hurry but he stayed and stayed. Finally came. I was so frustrated- had forgotten our coats. Had the loveliest drive, though. Moon shining and cool and pleasant. Mr. and Mrs. Orme and Goulands were with us. Big show tonight but we didn't get to go- got home about 8. Was so tired and dirty. Cooked some supper and went to bed. Had headache. Could hardly sleep. Papa had to go to 170.

Same old story. So dusty you can't see across the street. My! Everything is dirty. Emb. again and wrote in diary. Went up to drug store and got a tablet about 10. Dad was up there loafing. Geo came here and stayed awhile. As I started to dinner, Papa told me about Geo having a woman last night and a lot of mess. I didn't know what to think. Stayed at home and ironed all PM. Papa got two calls. Lucile went with him to Moore's. Sprinkled rain. Geo came down and stayed a long time. We had quite a chat about this business. Claridy and that bunch have framed up a big mess on us.

Rained last night. Nice and cool this a.m. Cleaned up and was writing to El when Geo came in. He stayed a long time and we talked more about that business. (I went down to the drug store real early to get some powder papers for Dad. Geo wasn't up yet. Old Claridy came in and said Geo was sick and we had better get a nurse and so on) Geo told me he was going to St. Joe. He left on the 2:37. Trains changed times today. Cloudy and raining all day. Read and Emb. some.

Still cool. Sold about a dozen of the capes. Went to PO- no mail. Curly came in. We were glad to see him. Has been in the country for a week. After they got through practicing, Mel, Merle, Curly and Hurley were up here until late. Papa and Curly roasted Lucile. She sure got mad and left. Went back to organ. Curly started back to her. She came around the other side and left him. Lucile acted so cool until Curly left.

Real cool. Wore capes and sweaters. Came to town before SS and came back after bread. (Juanita and I). Went to PO. Got pictures and a little letter from Mc. All went to train and then back to PO. The kids practiced all pm. I was in audience and then we sang a long time. All came out home with us. George Hurley, Dr. Beeler, Mrs. Hurley, Me and Merle. We sang and then came back to the 6 o'clock train. Had lots of fun. Mr. Hurley said someone was coming home on the train but they didn't. I went down and went to church with the teachers. Byron brought me home.

Some one in all day. George came back last night. The bunch told him so much and roasted him so that he didn't know how things were. He came in about 4. Store full of ladies of course. I didn't get to talk to him. Rather thought he would come down after supper, but nix. Lucile and I went up street after apples. Met him at drug store. Just spoke and that's all. Hardly knew what to think but knew all those men had been talking. Mel and them went over to Merle's and had music. Wanted us to go but we didn't. Dad closed up real early. Went home. Didn't feel a bit good and couldn't sleep. George Crouse left Sat and didn't come back so they got Simmons to take his place in the play.

Cool and pleasant. Lucile and I came down about 8:30 to buy a tablet. Geo was all smiles. He came to the store about 9:30. We had a little chat but someone was in all the time. Wrote to Ellery. Juanita came down with Dad. He went to glass factory and I had to leave her here and go to the train with the letters. Mr. Miller (the shoe drummer) was here and wanted me to go to the show with him but i didn't. Curly was in awhile and asked about Lucile but I didn't look up when she came in. Kids had a party at Hamericks. Byron took Eleanor Davidson. Went to show after Babe. Geo walked back with me. Said Miller (his partner in the drug store) was gone and he couldn't go. Went home rather late. Got some candy red apples. Kids came in about the party. Kissing games seemed to be en vogue.
