Dillers don't like the sound of St. Elizabeth. She is probably going thru a mild melancholia due to some adolescent upset. Maybe just tired out at the base of it all, and with boyfriend at night is too much for her. I don't believe it is any real psychosis, such as manic-depressive or dementia Prae; unless she has always shown those tendencies. What she probably needs is some medical expert to give her talkings-to till she gets her balance again. Odd how this age seems to be having so many troubles - reflection of the times, tho. The fright of the family is justified, of course. So try to reassure Diller that these things aren't at all fatal and she will snap out of it if they don't get scared themselves.

Our first rain, - a drizzle all the forenoon but now it looks as if it is going to clear. Met one of the Bride sisters at the grocery this A.M. She said Myra Southworth is due for a week, leaving Sunday & has been with Maud. I haven't been out yet, but must go. How is Doris' cold?
