Miss Margaret MacLaurin...

This came about as a result of attending a party of a number of students and young ladies invited by Miss Adair, the sister of my very good friend, Cyril Adair. Miss MacLaurin was invited to the party because she was one of Miss Adair’s music pupils. During the evening Margaret was Frank Underhill's partner and he escorted her home. After a few days I decided to invite her to go out with me.

I did not know the young ladies address, nor did I remember her name. I turned to my friend Cyril, He furnished me with all the information I needed. I phoned the young lady and having described who I was, I then asked her to go out with me. She consented to go out. She lived in the Mackay Institute, where she taught deaf mute pupils. That year we saw each other about once a week. About the end of April we parted for the summer.

I went to Saskatchewan, Kingsland. This part of Canada with its vast prairie land was all new to me.
