Alternating cloudy and bright. Cool. Arose 7 A.M. Breakfast. To College 7:45 to 11 A.M. Home. Down street to try on suit. Wrote in diary etc. Bowled at Morse 155-147-145. Read at Library. Supper. Studied. E.L. Cabinet meeting. Walked home with M. Swort. To bed 12:30 P.M. In Eve Mr. Halstead along with load.
**********
I guess there was no such thing as ready-to-wear clothing back then. A person had to have a suit made. Stanford earlier bought the one he refers to here, I believe, since he speaks of being measured. (See September 23 post.)
Don't know who M. Swort could be, or even if the person is a woman or a man. And I'm not sure what sort of load Stanford is referring to here, either, although there is a John D. Halstead who is in the 1920 Schenectady census who was a construction supervisor for the NY Telephone Co. Maybe he is delivering construction materials? More mysteries . . .
