Dorothy's Diary: Jan. 15 & 16

Monday, January 15, 1917:
Still cold and snowy everywhere. Good day at school. Willie got his engine so eagerly looked for.
Auntie called dad up at store. I suspect she is lonely without us. I wish weather would get warm. It is such a long drill to school this kind of weather. Saw death of Stair's little girl in paper.

Tuesday, January 16, 1917:
Cold but bright. Saw Paul go by school house about 1 o'clock. He went to funeral. Late getting home and wonder of wonders Paul sat in the house. He had been asking mother for me. He & I had supper together - such as it was for we had nothing on hand. Went to see "Miss G. Washington" at Columbia. A happy evening although I cried over mothers doubting my fitness for Paul.
