here after dark and I had gone to bed. she wanted to see me dreadfully and is coming Thursday. she brought me the second dozen of her fresh eggs and is coming after me to take me to ride, if the going ever comes nice and the snow goes. she called me up on the phone this morning and said she took some of Phoebies cake to eat when she went home it seems every body likes Phebes chocolate cake. Myrtle Gilchee came just as we had sat down to the table. she brought me a sickleman potted plant, full of pink blossoms. it looked lovely, also her coffee cake she always makes me two or three times every year, she seems to think everything of me, ever since she lived in our neighborhood, her boy is in the army he is very good in heath, since he went away and dont want them to worry about him, as he is away from the front lines in battle, where theres not any danger. Rubie Capen came, she was looking so healthy I didn't know her, I congratulated her and told her I was pleased to hear that Walter Swans her husband, had received a fortune and everyone realized she had made him a good home and done much for that step daughter, that seemed to please her and said she had tried to do well. and succeeded too I said. then Georgie Perkins and her daughter Doris came, and Berthe Longdon, they all stayed till most dark all but Blanche Hammond who went home to be in the library about 5 O'clock. then about 8 O'clock Gertrude Ballantine came over. Irma Wayland gave Mrs Barry a bottle of port wine. she is coming again Thursday (a holiday with she and Gladys) Mysic and Alice came on my birthday early in the forenoon while Mrs B was making sandwitches they hindered. love Ma
