Sunday, December 21, 1919

Bright cool winter day. Up 9 A.M. Down to Hayes's room to study S.S. lesson. To S.S. Practised [sic]carol. To Gertrude Anthony's house after pines. Trimmed up room. To Epworth League. Walked around with Chamberlain & Wagner. To bed 9:30 P.M.

The fellow named Chamberlain makes his first appearance here. Perhaps he showed up earlier in the diary (before May). Without a first name, it will be hard to pin him down.

I'm not sure why Stanford went to Gertrude Anthony's house at 11 Spruce Street to get pines, but it must have been because she had pine trees in her yard. That house no longer stands, and the pines are also long gone. Here is a picture, taken by Google, of what the area looks like these days:
