Wed. Mar. 17, 1897 Wea. lovely

This was another ideal spring day. I stayed in all day until evening and Cora suggested a walk and we went down to the P.O. and also went down and got some rubbers. People were wearing green badges in honor of the day. When I got back Ella Fortune was here and wanted Florence to go to a supper and dance and I said - nil. Then Flo. Gage came and they all went to Prayer Meeting.

NOTES
1. Rubbers = galoshes
2. Green for St. Patrick's Day. Interesting that it was even observed in North Dakota in the 19th century.
3. The word "nil" is a guess - the actual word is hard to read.
4. Ella is probably the sister of the boy Jim Fortune, with whom Florence was caught by Papa.
