But when the sun shines!! Oh, golden moments. I would not believe you now? Some day (five years from now) you will tell me how I have changed and influenced your life. At least I have completely changed your idea of women - the idea you gained from Thelma and Sydney. You have learned that a girl can be a companion and pal. Oh, my sweetheart! That was not a brotherly kiss nor a fatherly kiss, but a sweetheart's kiss. Can my mother be right when she says that the only true love is mother love? She has had experience and is happily married, too!

"It must be love" - you said almost the words I wrote Tuesday. "It never rains but it pours," you said, "but when the sun shines, how bright it shines. There must be a law of averages." We both felt the same way. What am I for if it is not a word of consolation, a word of cheer - in your moments of depression. I wanted to be cool to you tonight - oh but I can not! Am I spoiling you? - by being ever ready at your call. Why should I not?
No. 7 - SYRUP OF IPECAC, TWO OUNCES. Syrup of Ipecac is especially used as an emetic (to make one vomit) in croup in children. Dose, one teaspoonful followed by a drink of warm water. Also wring cloths out in hot water and put them on the child's chest and throat. Cover with dry cloth and change them as soon as they cool. Call a doctor. |
ContextThis is the journal of Virginia Lee Scott, my grandmother, written when she was seventeen and first dating my grandfather, John Arnold Wilson. It's a dairy published by Media Drug Stores and includes space for two entries per day, with facts about the era printed at the bottom, which I have included in italics. Following, 1928, is the journal of John Arnold Wilson, my grandfather, at age nineteen and in love with my grandmother, followed by my grandmother's journal in 1931. Archives
