Monday, December 29, 1919

Beautiful bright cold day. Up 9 A.M. Helped father off. Candled eggs 25 cases. Played piano etc. Skating in P.M. at Central Park with H.H. Fine time. Some progress. Bowled at Y.M.C.A. with Doris Smith, Lew Larkin, and Gertrude Anthony. Fine time. To bed 11:45 P.M. S.S.C. 157-160-126. D.W.S. 44-85-103.

Again with the score comparisons! Poor Doris. Although perhaps like many a young woman of her time, she made sure she didn't beat her young man at any athletic contest. No way to know for sure.

I wonder where Stillman was "off" to?

I guess Stanford was still not very skilled at ice skating with his new shoe skates--at least that's what it seems like from his comment about "progress." Here is a 1922 photo of ice skating on Central Park pond:
The above picture was published in the book, Images of America: Schenectady. I guess the park had only been open for about a year when Stanford and Hanford were enjoying it.
