15. Loafed at Mahoney's all morning and nearly made myself ill on apricots and grapes, both unripe. Paid a flying visit to N*****'s family but she was there and froze me out. Spent afternoon at No. 3. At about 5 P.M. I dressed in my white middy and skirt and red hair-ribbons, tie and ornament (my coral hand) and hied me to Mahoney's. Dan was there and he and I decorated our diaries. He has had another letter from Clara "who is furiously jealous of someone she doesn't event know", he says. It is also tear-splotched (apparently). Went with him to the Travellers', and the janitor and stenographer who were there took me for his sister. The latter said that I "looked like him in a way." It was killing!!!!! We both did some type-writing and then went to the Allyn House Drug Store and he treated me to a soda. He bought a Cosmopolitan and took it home. We looked at it to-gether and first he and I sat beside each other then he sat on the arm of my chair because he had to stretch his neck to to see the magazine and later, probably (?) to steady himself he put his hand on the opposite chair-arm. I was just wondering what I'd do if anyone came in when his aunt inquired (from the back porch) if he was ever going to bed. I took the hint and so did he so he escourted me back to No. 3. Muz was still out when I got there.
For comments on N*****, see August 12, 1912.
An ornament she mentioned wearing is her 'coral hand'. This is a pendent that is now in my possession. There is a hole going through it where it at one point held a riding crop.
