Sunday morning 28th February 1897

Awoke this morning to once
more find our domicil invaded by
the enemy. A blow to peace and quietness
more loud talk and high laughter
giggles & yells of nonsencical [sic] side
splitting mirthlessness. Oh for a
refined quiet ladylike demeanor.
The day is fine and is spent in cooking
and eating, cutter riding, ice boating, calling
on the Niles and Eveline. In evening
W. Dixon, Wall N & Will Niles visit
us. more noise, more banging on
the piano, more loud laughing that
speaks the vacant mind and
kept up till 11 O'clock. No one can
sleep till after 12 O'clock. Lill is a
methodist.
