the loss of her baby. No one knew she was pregnant nor even married and we don't know the father yet. Nor do we know the means whereby she lost the baby. She was out from work for a long time recently but came back last week and was in as late as last Saturday. I had noticed a decided change in her temperament since she returned, quiet, never smiling. Apparently the poor kid had been going through hell for months with this on her mind. All feel very badly about it and no one was inclined to be critical of her for anything she may have done, which certainly speaks for the modern way of looking at life. All of us had only a sense of awful tragedy and of sympathy for her in her long ordeal, for it must have been a terrible thing to go through. I can only wonder who the man was and wonder if he knows, and if so, how he feels about it.

Mat was lower this morning than I have ever seen him but he got to work about 9 AM. Henry got up when I did, in fair shape (he recovers fast over night) but could remember nothing about what happened after we left the Lafayette (also characteristic of him). He made another famed remark of his, "I must of got a little tight last night." Mat couldn't remember everything including signing the check and got not only a great razz but also a great shock to know he had obligated himself for $88. He was in misery this morning going over the Porter schedule with Evans and Walleson, who made a few quick passes and rearranged everything again to suit the exigencies of the moment.

I had the pleasure of being able to inform Frank Birbeck of Kaiser and Stevenson of Tonawanda
