Mother baked & iced Mary a
lovely box of cookies to take with
her for her birthday. This afternoon
I went to a call meeting of the
Canteen at the library. Was
there from 3 until 5:30. A state
worker from St. Louis conducted
the meeting. Made everything
very clear about the Canteen. It
is a very responsible work. I've
appointed Marnie 1st Lieut. and
Mabel Steele King 2nd Lieut. for
Fridays. Card from Bess C. & Mrs. J.

Harry went to K. C. today and didn't
get back tonight. I don't know
how I could live without Mother.
We are so much together. I embroidered
a white [piquet?] hat for Mary this
morning. Mother & I served up-
stairs nearly all afternoon -- mending
old things -- shortening & lengthening
skirts. The three of us went
to the Best tonight.
Mother gave me a lovely garnet
pin. A butterfly set with garnets.
She also bought pretty ones for
Katie & Marnie.
