Back to Columbus with Mr. Shelton this morning. I asked him if he minded my riding with him and he said of course not.
Wally called me about 6:30 and asked me if I would like to go to the show. He met me in on Indianola Bridge. Saw the “Scarlet Pimpernel” at the State. Stopped at drugstore for Sundaes and Ginger Ale. Saw an Italian boy from Marion.
Wally came in for a minute.

Wore my year ago Christmas dress and my year ago Easter Cape and my new accessories. Saw Mary and Bob for only a minute. With Bernard Brooks at church.
Our family and Grandma took a ride to Espyville in the afternoon. Mary and I went to BY. It was dreadful. Nice sunny day but a dreadfully cold wind.

I paid on my sewing machine and got my hair set this morning.
Put on Mary’s overalls and went to the garden with she and daddy. Planted about 2,000 gladiola bulbs and radishes, beets, parsnips, carrots, onions. Really worked. Harrowed the field with Bindley’s truck. Took a hot bath when I got home. Slept all evening I was so tired. And sore. Went to bed early.

Daddy, Mary and mother came down after me this evening. The sun was so pretty in the clouds going home.
Put my clothes to soak and oiled my hair.

Got a letter from Helen Wood last week asking if she could ride home with me. I told her yes but got another one today saying she was going home with Chet Evans.
Went to Vera’s. We surely had a nice visit. She sells dresses and we looked at them. They’re pretty high for me. Her husband fixed popcorn with ?gosgy[sic]. I got to talking about the hurricane and it was 11:30 when I got started home. They brought me in their car.
