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.

April 14, 1913 - Monday

14 - We were let out of school to-day at 2 because of J. P. Morgan's funeral, which, by the way, I did not attend. Bonnie left today and I was awfully sorry. She's lots of fun, and I do wish she could stay longer. Pit had made a date with her for the "Empire", for to-day but 'phoned he had to practice base ball. I'm crazy about Bonnie, but I do hope it is a sign that Don is no longer so, that he let base ball hinder his seeing her. I guess he is though. It's mean of me to even wish he weren't, but Bonnie is not at all in love with him.

Mae and I went to her rooms but it seemed awfully lonely without Bonnie, somehow. By the way, Yap is living up to his reputation for "speed". He held Mae's hand the other day, and though that's not in itself so speedy, he may get more so. I don't care, anyhow; Don is all I want __ and is, among other things too numerous to mention, what I can't have.
