This is a beautiful day although it was snowing for a while.

Had to go to the Cap. this morning to work and did some enrolling. I like the work real well.

In the evening went to the Fair. It was somewhat of a fake or more of a gambling “hell.” I bought a throw for a dollar – quite pretty. It was after 11 o’clock when I got home.

While at the Fair [illegible] I had my fortune told and for future references will write it. She said that I should make a wish – unknown to her – which I did and wished that I would get a position. She told me my wish would come true and through a dark haired man most probably through papa. That I would go some distance to fulfill it and would get some money. I was also going to soon receive a proposal of marriage from a dark-haired blue eyed man. I was not to accept him as he was deceitful. I wonder what the future has in store for me. One thing I do most earnestly wish is that I could earn my own bread and butter.
