A fine morning but came on wet in the afternoon.  I stayed on for half an hour then Maggie Gosling and I walked down to Euston and had a look in the shops to see what we could give to Eva Fawcett for her birthday which is on Saturday.  We got a very pretty inkstand.  We caught the 6.50 train.  I just called indoors for a few moments then went down to the Chapel to help amuse the youngsters.  It is their quarterly tea and social evening of Band of Hope.  At nine o’clock I went to Choir practise.
