  Didn't do much in morning. In the afternoon went down to P.O. and bought some remainders of Jubilee stamps. Found some 6 cent ones in a small shop. Also bought some pickles and priced face powder. I found that I pay by patronizing Scotts. The Yardley's powder I paid 60 cents for there, is 48¢ in grocery stores. It rained most of the afternoon.

  Another rainy and very windy day - which I dislike. We were going thru the Institute but discovered it was closed. I spent a good part of the day writing letter. In the late afternoon, after tea, I worked on stamps. I made some new & improved holders. This evening I had the sniffles again.
