Sunday, May 31, 1936

plesant all day-
Clara left 12-30 noon today
George, Bertha, Chester, & Christine came about  two hours this p.m.
Harry took us for a ride after they left and Aunty & I called on the Hamiltons and Ed Emmons
Iliff called this eve-
Mother very restless and unhappy since Clara left us-
 

               Would You?*

If I thought a word of mine,

    Perhaps unkind and untrue,

Would leave its trace on a loved one's face,

    I'd never speak it--

              Would you?

If I thought that a smile of mine

    Might linger the whole day through

And lighten some heart with a heavier part,

    I'd not withhold it--

               Would you?

                                                         --Anon.

*The above poem was found in Irene's diary. It was cut out of a newspaper, & I thought I would include it here. Nice sentiment.
