                 December 20. George made 10 points. We played Quincy,
             lost 21-22. Had our Xmas party at school. I was an angel. George
             made me laugh. He had my name [for the gift drawing]. He gave
             me a bottle and nipple and a hot-water bottle. He gave me his
             present—candy too. B. ball game in evening. George met me at
             Davison’s. The Quincy fellows congratulated George in his choice
             in his girl and told him to bring me along when he came to Quincy.
             G. Elliott came after us. Swell time.

                 December 21. George came in the store and said we were going
             to the show with Charlie and Betty. We saw Storm over the Andes.
             Swell show. We went riding and out to Julienne afterwards. We
             laughed and laughed. George told me he bought me something.
             Swell time.

                 December 22. George and Al came by. We had George’s car.
             Went out for M.L. Went riding. George and I had an argument.
             Was he ever sore at me. He said I was too touchy and I didn’t care
             for him. Finally we made up. We went to Wagner’s then brought
             M.L. and Al home. George came in. He was swell then. Had fun.
             He brought Jim home.

                 December 23. Worked till 9. Then went out to party at Glo-
             ria’s. Was supposed to go to a potluck supper time. We exchanged
             presents. I got a little box of guest puffs from Angela. Came home
             about 11. Good time.


                 December 24. Christmas eve. George was supposed to have
             a date with me after work, but Albert McGinnis didn’t come by
             for him and didn’t let him know he wasn’t coming until too late.
             Was I mad? Stayed home. Got lots of nice Xmas presents. George
             was mad too.

                 December 25. Christmas. Marty, Gloria, and I went to see
             Collegiates at Illinois Theater. Swell show. Gloria ate supper here. I
