September 5, 1912 - Thursday

(5). Went to the fair with the Cooks. Saw some very nice things but my head ached and I got awfully tired. Dr. Cook got a fox terrier puppy for Harriet. We ate our supper at a stand on the fair grounds. Katherine and I called on Marion Downs when we got home and had peach ice cream and cake.

Attached card with comments / 'x for wrong or c for correct' by Marjorie in a brighter shade of red:
I was born on a Saturday x Sunday

You are painfully susceptible and continually falling in love. x After much changing you will eventually be satisfied. ? You are thoroughly practical, ? but quick tempered, c and though liking your own way, c are perfectly resigned when you do not get it. There is one severe trouble, brought on by others, in which money is involved, but you will come out all right. ? Financially you are fortunate - you make money ? and enjoy using it, c you are prudent, ? however, and shun danger of all kinds. ?

Socially you are esteemed, ? by all your acquaintances. Your married life will be fraught with many dangers, particularly that in which your reputation is involved, but by using tact and foresight you will eventually overcome all your enemies. At the next new moon you will have cause to rejoice over a most important event. Ha, Ha.

Advice - "Look before you leap." Needless! I am not a frog.
Happiness: A phantom all are seeking few can find. Happy times can be expected. Any one can expect it.
Best Days - Friday x and Saturday. Friday is not, as I hate fish
Fortunate Flower - Violet. Never brought me luck yet.
Lucky Stone - Ruby. I probably shan't ever have one, so that's safe.
Ques: Is 23 my lucky number or age?

At this point Marjorine begins writing a bit more sporadically. The next post will be on September 11, 1912.
