February 21, 1922 - Tuesday
Very foggy this a.m.
Mr. Roach was here for chota while Mr. & Mrs.
Weeks arrived for breakfast; Mrs. M. was invit-
ed out for this meal. I took Miss Geis's pocket-
book, which she had left on a chair in our
classroom, to her, & got Mrs. Rose's hymnbooks
before the bell rang. When I returned I dusted
them and then hunted up songs to fit in with
my theme. Galations V: 22-23, for the fortnightly
prayer meeting this eve. Gave Joseph R. [?] [R 2 for 2 rupees?] this a.m.
to buy limes & sugar. Miss D. not feeling well. Went
to Seagraves this aft. for more song books but only
succeeded in getting four. Borrowed eleven
glasses from Miss Teel. About forty four were pres-
ent at prayer meeting, the first, so we were told,
ever held in the Guest House. We had gone to town
after breakfast, stopping first at the small Singa-
pore Cane furniture shop on Soolay Pagoda Road;
then to the English bakery in Phayre Street, where
we had to take a gharry to bring our cakes home;
then we stopped at Whiteaways, I to get a mosquito
net; Miss D. to buy a tooth brush; next the press, where
I wanted stamps but couldn't get them, and Miss D.
made several purchases; then to the library to return
"The Bureau" which I had finally finished over
the week-end, & to renew ["Asolea"?], not taking time to
get anything else; and finally to the G.H. where we
had to dress & see that enough chairs were brought
up, things were dusted, etc. I conducted the meeting,
after a song "Now the day is over", I read & talked a
little; then Miss D. prayed on "Love", another song,
fours short prayers; song, a series of 4 more

srs. Safford, Weeks & Rogers talked; song & bene-
diction by Dr. Kelly. Miss Hunt got here after the
program but in time for refreshments.
Mr. Ali Son came this a.m. but asked to leave im-
mediately to attend a real estate deal he had on
hand; Miss Seagrave gave us some dictation & la-
ter we dispersed early, she kindly taking home her
four song books. Then I returned those I'd borrow-
ed from Mrs. Rose, & Miss Teel's glasses; then got a
lot of jobs done. In the aft. we went for class to the
Seagrave porch, as they have an electric fan, and
it is now generally so warm in the p.m., so we
will pay for the extra "juice" and try to be more
comfortable in this heat. Saya still didn't come, so
we studied together for about an hour & a half & then
dispersed. We are now reading in the second book,
the one we are required to take dictation from, to
the neglect of John. Mr. Moffitt, the new American
Consul, a young lawyer from N.Y.C., entertained
his fellow country men at a lovely lawn fete on
our Judson College compound at 5 this p.m.; I got a
bunch of home mail on return from class, so
stopped to read the letters; by the time we bathed and
dressed we were a little late getting there, but others came
after we did, notably Mrs. Robbins & Mrs. Wiatt, also
some of the Methodist missionaries. I talked to
most of the ladies, getting acquainted with Mrs.
Grove, whose husband was the Singer sewing
machine agency here, who lives on [Shan?] Road
and on whom I called last month. Mr. [Whitman?]
