Fair and Warm
Gilbert is going to take Dale and Dick down to get them some pants anyway so we let them take Albert and walk to the plant and meet Gilbert and go from there. They had a big time. Got Dale a lumberjack, too. They are not handsome, but warm. Dick’s pants are too large. Bess came after supper for a weekend visit.
(Marjorie noted "Did the boys walk from home to the gas plant? It must be almost 2 miles, at least! They had to cross 10th St., Michigan St., & Washington St., - heavy traffic!"
It seems that the Smiths were going on a bit of a spending spree these last few days. Even if Gilbert wasn't so good at getting the right sizes, at least he was an involved father.
Bess, as you will recall, is one of Gilbert's sisters. Here picture is posted at this link.

Was Bess short for something?
ReplyDeleteBess's full name was Clara Bessie Smith.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marj. That was a looong walk for the little boys to walk, especially without an adult with them.
