August 6, 1915

Got a letter from Mrs. Weatherhead
Friday Rain

Went home in A.M. and over again in P.M. and sewed. Dan Aher got dishes at Ideal. May played with Helen.


Note:"Dan Aher got dishes at Ideal" Jean Shephard wrote a wonderful short story called something and "the Orpheum Gravy Boat Riot" about a movie theatre in the depression that gives away a piece of a dinner set each week and then ends up giving nothing but gravy boats for weeks in a row until the crowd turns nasty and riots. I think what Ada is referring to is something along those lines - where you buy a ticket each week at the movies - and "Dan Aher" has just won the whole set.
