book was overdue already, but occasionaly I snatched a moment or two to look out doors.  Towards the middle of the afternoon, a slow hesitating rain commenced.  But I knew it was short-lived, for over in the west, near the horizon was a yellow glow, showing there was a break in the clouds.  The yellow glow grew larger and brighter until finally the sun came forth again.  As it was still raining, I eagerly looked for a rainbow, but was disappointed.  Sometime later I came out again, to see the sunset.  Over in the east were the fleeing rain could, a grayish pink.  In the west the sun, an orange disc, slowly disappeared in deep grey mists which melted gradually from rosy to yellow and to faded blue, where overhead were a few white clouds.  As night came on, the stars came out, and there was just enough chill in the air to make it pleasant.
     After supper, I intended going over to see Mrs. Kirst, but when Louise called up from Edith’s asking me to come up and play cards, I intended to go see Mrs. Kirst.  Before going up to the Edith’s I went out Ellsworth Ave with Joe, who was delivering some pictures to Mrs. Obenour.
