Monday April 5 1943
Tippi’s tiny kitten died yesterday.
Finished up last week’s ironing. When Walt came at noon we went to Mother’s for dinner & then loaded Mary & her bags all of us in the car & took Mary to Kenton to catch the 2:40 train for Cincinnati & Daytona Beach. Her orders are to report by April 7. Kathy had fun running around benches in depot but then we had to go uptown & buy her some pants. Martha Fout had sent Mary a corsage of sweetpeas. Mother bellered at the last minute & on the way home.
Guild at Edith Robert’s tonight. Girls were willing to take the 18 more books necessary for us to qualify in the reading contest.
