evening the air became colder and fresher.
     In the afternoon, I went over to Bill’s, and as Joe had to make a sign and couldn’t go, I persuaded Bill to come back with, so Louise could play. We had played several games of “500” when King came in, and we played Pedro. In the second game we got hil­arious and cheated, threw up hands and had fun in general. At supper time, the fellows left, altho we had invited them to stay to supper.[i]

     This has been another nice day. All day the warm sun has shown forth from a clear blue sky, still there was a chill in the air. This morning and last night I noticed how longer the days were getting and besides the sun has been rising and setting more and more towards the north. I noticed this from the fact that I could see neither sunrise of sunset from my accustomed windows.
     Well, Day’s Conspiracy was successful. While they were giving out tickets for the Rival to us to sell, Day had election. The outcome was 11-9 in Smith’s favor.
     After supper, Joe invited the Richies in to play cards. We had lots of fun, but in the last few games got too hilarious.
