DESKAIDE * THE SILENT SECRETARY * 1942
August 20 Thursday 

Fair. In the morning I went to the store, did German, (finished chapter 18-2 more) + ate. After lunch, I called up Mabel + Patty to go to pond with me but neither could so I stayed home, ironed + mended my clothes, ate + looked for a hair-do. I am going to get a slip like the ones most girls wear! My old ones is long: + one is very short with lots of [[image]] patches + holes. Most girls have ones like [[image]]. I ate + went  to bed at 9:00. Mother and I went down to see where the fire (big) was last night at about 2 or 3 A.M. It was a shoe form/wood storage factory - burned a lot of it. Then I got the pattern for my slip, an ice cream, + came home.

We always have fish, haddock or makeral, [[mackerel]] on Fri. Fair + hot. In the morning I went to the store, did German + housework. In the afternoon I wanted to go to the pond but Patty or Mabel couldn't go - Mabel's aunt Miss (Mabel) Colcord - she works in Washington arrived tonight so she had to work. I went over to her house until 4:30 + read magazines, etc. til mother called me to come home. Then I ate, bed, etc. I am cutting out of Mrs. Barry's Good Housekeeping magazines pictures of hairdos I may want in my permanent. I take a bath every day now.
