January 9, 1913 - Thursday

(9) - Muz's birthday is to-day. We have stopped our meals at Mahoney's &, from now on, take our breakfasts and dinners at home. Muz gets her lunches down town and I mine with Mrs. Monroe. Stayed with Dan and Mae last evening. Dan was cross about something. He certainly has queer moods. I seem to "get his goat" a lot.

I have the most awful time keeping my pencils at school. The Junior who shares my desk with me persists in carrying off every pencil on the place, mine included. I am going to take a bright pink one to school this time that she can't mistake for her yellow ones. To make sure, however, I have shaved off a strip at the end and marked on the wood "exclusively mine."

She might as well

take my goat too.

Talk about goat-

getters!!!!
