"What Dalce was doeing?" That is rather
a dificult question to answer, as I don't
often do the same thing two days.
I can tell you what I did yesterday
which will be a pretty fair specimen
of the way I spend my time.

After breakfast "fooled away" an hour
untill Frank and France Chandler
started for Chicago. Then made up six
beds swept and dusted three rooms,
helped wash dishes, swept the kitchen,
"combed and dressed"; and sewed, and
listened to some loud reading about an
hour: prepaired dinner; after dinner
read "something about pictures" ect, mended
a dress, sewed again, then, All went in the
sleigh over to Aunt Carries made quite
a long call; came home, sewed again
untill tea time after tea sewed and
listined to "Dr Livingston" untill eight
oclock; beat M Clark at a game of chess -
read - from the "Atlantic Monthly-" "My
Aquarium, and several other good things.
