The second declared that he had found the dog and it was his. Grandpa suggested that they settle the dispute at the police station, where Ching Ch'en had previously gone and left a written description of the dog and account of the circumstances.

Tom and I settled down for a good talk, and in came Mrs. Hung and her two kids, and then Mrs. Stuart, and in letting the Hung kids in and trying to keep out the cold air (today was the coldest this year) Tom put his elbow through the glass in the door and we had to paste paper over the hole, and soon our wives returned and the Marches took their departure. In the eving we went with the Ennises and Rubys to see Mae Murray in "Jazz-manis."

To me the most important event of the day was the first session of a seminar with Dr. Ferguson.
