March 3, 1922 – Friday
Miss D. went to town after breakfast yes, & got me
R.75, so of this I gave to Miss T. at the station to buy
a crate of thinne butter; 14 went to J. for room rent; I
paid Miss D. the 3 she loaned me, and Saya 3/8 for
the book ordered and received not long since. I
finished reading "Modern Buddhism in Burma"
by Purser and Saunders, the first of the eight re-
quired readings for this year. Washed hose and
handkerchiefs and did a lot of other trivial but
necessary things. About five p.m. we decided to
go to the college to tennis tea, and arrived there found
about a score assembled to play and partake of
sandwiches (three cornered) and layer cake
(evidently homemade). Mrs. Jury was embroider-
ing a small pillowslip and seemed more indus-
triously inclined than any of the others. I asked
about getting some of the required books out of the
college library. Miss D. asked Mr. [Whituab?] about
sharpening her tools, which to my surprise, she had
brought along in her small shan bag; this was
over an hrs hard work on a small treadle grind
stone, with a smoothing off on her oilstone, Mr.
Ah Sou brought me a handful of creeper seeds
today, which I've put carefully away in an envelope
for future use. talked to Miss Smith first this
aft; later to Mrs. Safford; and briefly to Miss Hunt.
Took a nap at noon, but after about half an hr's snooze
was awakened to pay duty and postage on the apron
red and white, which Aunt Lizzie sent me. Got two I
J's this wk. for the first time in a coon's age; also
"missions" and a number of nice letters and cards,
Plus some lurid oil prospectuses – which went
in the waste basket in short order. Mr. A. has been

been out a good deal, for dinner especially, etc. to my
great relief. Dr. K. picked us up in his car on our way
back.
March 43, 1922 - Saturday
Went to town after chota this a.m. to de Souza's for
my kodak pictures which came to R16/ & Pepsodent
tooth paste R 1/8; then to the press for postals A.9/ &
back again – late for class as the St. Cary conductor & some
Mohammedan passengers had an altercation about
the fare, & "police" were freely spoken of, the mortor-
suan stopped the car; others shouted for him to
go out, etc. Saya had brought me some of the yellow
cosmos seed, also the beans of another creeper. –
both wild. Finished "The Birds of Burma" by Harring-
ton, loaned me by Mrs. Pattle today. Miss D. finished
her blue crepe slumber robe today; I do not seem
to have accomplished much. We went to Mrs. Cowas-
ice's to tennis tea this p.m., hiring a gharry for 2 hrs.
Met Misses Campion & Jackson, Lady Minto nurses,
English women; our host conducted us over his flow-
er garden & up to the highest balcony of "Tower House"
for the view. Two dozen or more men & women were
present, but we left about seven; the play had ceased
and those remaining wound their way up to the
house; they have a grand piano & sometimes have mu-
sic later. I was given a cordial invitation to return,
so I think I shall go again soon & take Miss Peterson a-
long with me. I learned at the tea yes. that she is
quite a bird lover also; I was speaking about it at
the dinner Table & she told me that at one time she
was able to identify 135 of the native species, & has
promised to take me out for some bird walks at [Kalow?].
Mrs. Howard invited us; thru Miss D., to dinner next
Wednesday evening. Misses Chapman & Walden, Ma
Sein Tha, [Bolo?] and Chima were here to a Guide meeting;
yes. aft. and were first leaving as we came in; [?]
aloud to tell what I'd heard the aft before [?] [?]
