for M.A.’s birthday, and a locket for Sally’s confirmation.
     Evening - Mr. Mac’s & C. over to visit & hear music. All Mr. Mac needs is a good listener; I may not have listened as attentively as possible, but I believe I gave the appearance of it. But I was bored - and glad when Bertha and C. insisted on hearing some music. I played the Snow-White records, and then the Franck Symphony.
     After they left, near midnight, out to look at the moon - it was full, and shone with a brilliance that seems to belong only to a clear cold winter night - it was almost blinding.
     Unable to sleep, except by fits, all night. Announcement in the paper that there would be a total eclipse about 4 am stuck in my mind, so that whenever I aroused, I felt I had to get up and look at the moon. Later I could tell by the dimness of its light on the wall, the progress of the earth’s shadow over it. When the light disappeared altogether, I got up to look. The moon a dull coppery orange full in the sky.

      AM. To Harbor. A little warmer, and dreamy misty sky with half-sunlight. The light effects & “feeling” were perfect for my picture & I made many studies staying until past 2:00.
     At Michigan & Seneca I saw Bill -? from Gardenville, who was glad for a lift. When we got to our village, he wanted first to buy me a cigar, then a drink of beer, which I accepted.
     Before going to the harbor I had stopped and bought some pink and yellow moccasin flowers from two Indian women
