but she knew it already. I hope we won't have
the horrible rack-
et tonight we did last.

March 54, 1922 – Sunday
Misses D., Peterson and I went to the High School Com-
pound and saw Mrs. Safford baptize seven boys & four
girls. On returning I wrote a dozen postals while Miss
D. was away teaching S. S. In the aft. I wrote four
more cards and as many short letters; read
some in "The Heart of Buddhism" bathed, dressed
& went to the deaf school to tea. Mrs. Grove called
while I was gone – sorry to have misled her. Stayed
too late to go to church, and I wanted to as this was com-
munion Sunday. Finished the book by Saunders &
looked over a couple of Literary Digests. Joseph says
the outlandish noise we're been hearing every night
of drums, cymbals & yelling, etc. is some sort of Indian
worship and will last all month! - and there are 31
days in March. All six of my last roll of films were
good – tho' of course some were better than others;
but at least none were spoiled. Miss Campbell had on
a lovely shade of blue voile this afternoon. The deaf
children had been entertained by the fire depart-
ment the aft. before & came home with a fine col-
lection of toys and souvenirs. I go for breakfast
next Friday; take Mrs. Robbins over Tues. aft. Saw Misses
Eastman and Southerland pass by for a walk while there
Miss D. & Mr. Josif went to the Eng. B. cls with Dr. K. tonight.
Many of the irises & trees are beginning to bloom now;
these will be in their greatest beauty later I am
told, not long before the rains. One of the bells came
off my dress, so I sewed it on this p. m. as I wanted to
wear the voile, not getting out a fresh one; wouldn't
Miss Florence be shocked? I don't know whether
Miss D. was or not. She leaves for M. next Fri. eve &
then I'll be here alone. We dine at Howard's Wed. eve.

March 5 1922 – Monday
Saya was over half an hr. late this a.m; He missed
his train, he said but he's been tardy frequently
here of late. The Americans are to meet for luncheon
at the Strand Hotel (with 3 A. bishops) next Wed.
I got a postcard notice this a.m., so Misses D, P.,
& I are all going. Think I shall also go to all the ten-
nis teas that I can this next week or so, as I won't
have many more times to attend them. Took Miss
Haswell's card, which had been here several days, over to
her when we went to class this aft. After tea Miss D
went to town, & I went over beyond the r.w. station to
try to get a picture of the ugly water buffaloes; the
first I took will doubtless be bad, as I'd left my
stop on "time" when I thought I was taking a snap,
so took another which I hope will be good, tho
the subjects were rather faraway. Miss P. went
to town and was also out to dinner last eve – I think
at Miss S's next door. Think Mrs. W's tea, or whatever
it was, also came off this aft, instead of last Fri,
as I at first supposed; perhaps she has had a
series, however. There was a parade of some of the
native peoples to vary the noisy program last eve. M.
prayer meeting is to be held at Duffs tomorrow eve,
so I hear, but it is Gaites' time, & neither Miss D,
nor I got a notice. Miss G. made the suggestion
that we have a class morning session at K., &
then each have an hr. privately in the aft., so
may be this will be done, coming from that
source; this has been suggested before, by Miss D.
if no one else, but has hitherto not been acted
upon. We retired rather late for us – after 10.
