This has been a very warm day, all well. Belle and her baby called this morning and we went all day with her shopping saw some beautiful black lace beaded dresses and sacks and basques all beaded all over. Belle bought some short dresses for her baby, she is five months old, and as soon as her wardrobe is finished she will put on short clothes. Tonight was the opening of the art and picture gallery at the Exposition building. Mr Harvey sent us invitations and Mr Badger, Ada, James and myself all went the collection of painting is one of the best I ever saw, they are certainly well worth a visit.
