Our great-grandmother was an amazing woman. And here, one hundred years later, we have her diary.
Take a trip to the past through the eyes of a teen-age girl, and marvel at how the world has changed -
and the many ways it has not.

October 31, 1912 - Thursday



A Short Synopsis of 
October

Started Sunday school again for this year. I have the same teacher as last year, Miss Downs. Oct. 13.

We got our preliminary reports in High School. Oct.

Muzzy took me to see "Oliver Twist," played by the All-star cast, at Parson's. Marie Daro was "Oliver." Dandy play.

I think Chrissy is moulting.

Did not go anywhere on Hallowe'en.

Saw Donald once, at Mrs. Mahoney's. He says he will be invisible for about two months now.
P.S. He kept his word.

September 29, 1912 - Sunday

29. Went for a ride in Dr. Cook's automobile. We rode for about 4 hours, from 8.30 to 12.30. Went to Mrs. Mahoney's in the evening and Agnes Ahern (according to Dan, "a witch") was here. Donald has heard so much about her from Dan and me that he says he wants to meet her and told Dan to telephone him next time she came, but Donald didn't. It would not have done very much good anyhow, as she is about three years his senior, and had two admirers with her as it was. She generally has two or more along whenever she comes here.

I sent this book over at Mrs. Mahoney's but sent it home with Muz after supper as I'd hate to have anyone read it. Took Dan's diary and got him so raving mad that he could hardly see straight. It's queer how Dan and I both like to take diaries and hate so to have ours taken, but 'tis ever thusly!

Miss Hastings asked me if I would write for the Chronicle. I surely will if I can think up a subject.
