July 18. I worked at Grant’s. Afterwards I went to the dance.
Danced all evening with Don Baptist and Luke Zeller. Came home
with Luke, Bob, and Marty. We went to Davison’s. Had fun. He
asked me for another date. (I missed George.)

July 19. Went down to Eustacia’s. Ate dinner at Mildred’s. In
afternoon we played games at the Church. In evening I had a date
with Dean McPherson, Eustacia with Jack Drew, and Janet with
Popeye. Went to Jerseyville and Greenfield. Seemed funny without
George. Went riding with Jouett in V8 to river and all over. He
wanted to take us to dance in evening. I wouldn’t go.

July 20. In afternoon Eustacia and I played croquet with Betty.
In evening went riding with Jouett and another kid. Had pretty
good time.
July 21. I was sick all day. Eustacia and I went to the show to
see Laughing Irish Eyes. Good, but I was so weak I could hardly
stand up.

July 22. In afternoon we went to 4H-Club style show. In
evening we went riding with Neil Simonds. He took us to the
confectionery. Met the kids. Had fun! Went to river to fish.

July 23. Went to Jerseyville. Came home about 6. In evening
Jimmie, Norine, and Jim came after me in our new Plymouth.
Was I surprised? I didn’t know they were going to get one. They
got it Wed. I came home in evening. I got a real important darling
letter from George.

July 24. I wrote George a letter in afternoon. Took a ride in
our new car. In morning I drove it. It’s keen. After supper walked
uptown.

July 25. Went to work at 1. Came home after work and Mother
and I went uptown. Went to Hamilton’s.
