Tues., 9/2 Spent this day sewing and sleeping. Aunt Elizabeth came to say goodbye. She starts for Chicago tomorrow. The woman who lost her bag received my card and came to claim it. Honesty meant good fortune to this hard working woman.
Wed., 9/3 First day for the children at school. John and Rose at high & Ruth at grammar. Made supper for my family and took a ride into town. From there up to Eleanor's to take her dress, went to movies and left MacArthur in to finish picture. Boarded a Paterson car and found out my seat window was not open. A soldier very kindly offered to open it but could not. Gave me his seat and sat beside me so he could have a chat. His first trip to Newark. Took my address so he could call and let me show him my city.
