Marion has terrible cold. Doane came up in Eve. Pa came over in P.M. took Sam's breakfast over to him. Worked all day. Did not change dress.
Note: Doane is a Doctor. While Ada's mother is away on an extended visit, Ada is helping out with everything at that house too, including laundry and housework for Pa and taking over breakfast for her mother's brother, Sam.
I guess not changing her dress is an indication of how busy she is - since she apparently changed after her work was done on most days.
