turned [returned] from service.

April 15, 1922 – Saturday
Ida & I took a walk after chota; then back to straight-
en [straighten] up, after which I started a sweater which I
think I'll give to Frances James Miller Haynes; its
foundation is old rose, with a wide roman stripe at
waist and on shoulders, & a broad band, possibly
of black, at the bust; as it is being made from the
left overs it will take some inginuity to plan a
pretty one. Mrs. H. & I walked out to C's tennis court,
arriving about five p.m; 4 ladies were playing but
as soon as they finished I played with 3 men, Mr.
Hattersley being my partner. After an all-mascu-
line line-up: I again played with 3 men, Dr. C. this
time taking me on as a partner. This was my first
appearance on the court; I took my knitting &
bag along & changed my shoes after my arrival. The
three from the Pavilion who preceded us – Misses
B., G., & T., left as soon as their set was over, going to the
Heptonstalls to play badmington. I walked part of
the way back with Mrs. Case & the remainder with
Mr. H.; the former sent for the dye soap after dinner,
Rachel bought me a rupee's worth of stamps at the
p. o.; I sent six, but this was all she could get, so
I hope to get some letters & laces off tomorrow. Mrs.
C. was not down at the court, & met Miss Peterson going to
town, but the McG. & Mrs. H. were there; Mr. Howard is
still in Rangoon. Mr. Harris has returned from Tongoo [Toungoo] &
he & his wife were over. Mr. Klein got a fall. Misses Adams
& Peter were also present but didn't play; then there were
the Marshalls, Jurys, Gates, etc., quite a gathering. The court was
supposed to be in condition a week ago, but was not ready
till Monday. No Amer. mail yet; we've been looking & expect-

107
ing [expecting] every day, but all in vain.

Easter. April 16, 1922 – Sunday
I. went to B. service this a.m. but she was the only one
who did. I gave an E. card to Hubert & one to Dorothy. I
got 2 letters & a card off in time this a.m. for Mr. H. to take to the
train to mail; later I got 5 off in time for the 2:15
collection – in all to Cousin Mary Clay (card to John), Ceylon lace
to Cousin Jennie – to choose & then send the other on to
T.J. – " Mary Paxton, darned net center; baby dress to
Verna; petticoat & bib to Mary Portman; cap & bib to Mina
Carpenter; S.D. booklet & stamped envelopes to Katherine;
one for Lucile will have to wait till tomorrow. All the A.
B. M's but Miss Peter – I believe – were at ch, but the Hattersleys
left early, & Mrs. K. joined them. Dr. Tilbe preached. Miss J.
thinks my little violet hat very becoming. J. & I then
walked by for me to leave an E. card for the Chinese
couple. When we returned the postman had been here
with the long delayed home mail; I got letters from Mary,
Margaret, Gustava – enclosing a lot of E. cards, cute
little chickens & rabbits, & which I gave one around to
those at the table; 3 I. J's, (one of Feb. 3), 2 C. E's, one Y's C., 2
LitD's & the Nat'l Geog:; I certainly was glad to get them all.
My periodicals, beginning with March numbers have all begun except "Asia" & it
doubtless will by next week, or the one after. After
dinner – Miss Phillips came over with a letter from
Miss Prescott for me; there was also a general one which
we've all read, but it does not seem to apply out here,
so as far as I've been able to see. I've now used up all my
stamps, so must go tomorrow & get more. We had straw &
mulberry short cake for dinner – very nice. I got a letter
from Mrs. Elliott yes. & a statement from the press, as
well as one several days ago. We've settled for our first
