Beautiful day.
We were aroused at an early hour
this morning by the fluttering OF
the birds. Jim Anderson, the cat

Mary reached there just in time to
save its life. The poor bird was
deprived of many feathers, but not
injured, and Jim, the cat, with his

punishment.

This is lovely day-an eventful
day for us.
We have purchased the lot corner
Of 10th and G streets from Mr..
Riggs. Mr.. Baldwin, the archi-
tect. says the house built of Colonial
brick with white trim will cost six
thousand. My friends are sternly
surprised that should undertake it,
but I feel that I am sensible to put
the little I have in a home for my
dear children.
Mr.. Baldwin came this morning to
discuss the plans for our house,
wishes to leave out the conservatory
for winter flowers to bring the house
within our means, but even so 1t
will be delightful to have a home
OF our very own.

Julia insists upon going as black

Well. the fancy ball is over. 1t Is
now noon; the young people are still
asleep. They came into my room
about three in the morning with
glowing accounts of the wonderful
ball. Anne whispered to me that
Julia was so amusing that she was
surrounded by admirers the entire
evening. I can readily believe it
She is not only amusing, she Is an
imp.
Saturday, April II, 1858.
About seven this morning We had
q severe hailstorm; now the sun is
shining-fckle April.
I had a letter from Mr.. Thorn
ton this morning asking if would
write an article giving my views on
education for women. I shall do so
with pleasure. 1t gives me an oppor-
tunity to say what I have long be-
lieved-that men and women should
have the same advantages of edu-
cation. Any mind not cultivated and
permitted to vegetate will deterio-
rate-and that is the fate of the
average feminine mind-but some
day women will come into their
own.
Every woman should be fitted to
be a mental companion for her hus-
band and sons, though I still believe
that the duties of men and women
should be different.

I'm far more interested in you than
in anything you could take away from
me, except my life, which I'd like to
hold onto until it's work is completed.
THE papers you see in the box
are that work. The first notes I col
lected over a period of years were
destroyed by fire. That's why l keep
these in a freproof safe - l come
in daily contact with a group of de-
cent young men, number of whom,
given certain circumstances, might be
where you are now. Only fine line
separates you from them, like the line
in the middle of a street that separates
cars going in opposite directions.
ORANrED you have a chip on your
shoulder because you believe fate's
giving you dirty deal. At some time
in every mans life he believes exactly
the same thing, whether the cause is
money, social injustice, treacherous
business partner, an unfaithful wife,
or just an acid stomach - What
made you think grabbing another
mans property offered any solution?'
