Easter Sunday
Very nice breakfast – about 12 of us went. Stayed until seven – ate and played on Missouri Avenue playground. Wore my white silk pique – Why! It’s only two years old! But I had new purse, gloves, shoes and hat. Last Sunday Bros Hempstead baptized the babies by sprinkling the water with a carnation! Bro James baptized and took into the church. Ate dinner with Lucy Mae Crome at Jewetts. Went to service at night with Lavora.
