Thurs Nov I5th.
Very dark and rain Gave up trying to work on pic and devoted the day to the attic looking over old things Went pretty well through everything. and dedicated some of the laces and soft things remaining of the dear Grandma and aunties to Aunt Sallie. Wrote to her and did a lotoof bills and desk work. Out for short turn but saw no one . Great party at Wonsons and I asked A . Frank Clark and S1 and Mrs A here She could not but theothers did. Punch andnver(y) good supper. VERY jolly. Went over to R.R about ni to see the hole made for the piano.. and back here
They on guard till the servants came home. Eleven and they were very tired A was anyway but it was a nice time. Anna distressed to have kept me up.
Fri Nov I6th
Cold and wind again.. Very hard to keep the studio door open for the light and only fitful sun . Natale posed a short time and I put him in . Very int in his white suit in the warm light of the studio end.  A.P.A and Frank came in after lunch to the studio to see the pic and approve. . A brought papers with long notices of the McClung episode.
It is enchanting that he has resigned and makes good for A.P.A who is mentioned all through it with equal importance.   It seems to bring him too before the public one more. and I hope.
Was lying down when S1 called up to ask me to go in there to see things of his mothers youth. and later brought them in himself Wonderful dresses of the early sixties. Up in my room by fire where we had tea together which he enjoyed mightily.
Had to hurry to dress for Patches sup . They came for me . A Frank and Harry in the car Very cold. but so nice and family there Mrs A. and the children . 
Saw A in new light . He seemed so much older and different . poor dear I cannot bear it.  But it was very gay toasting marsh mallows. etc Back rather early
They did not com in.
