C. went to early service at the Cathedral.
I waited for her outside & came back with her
We breakfasted at 9. At 10.30 we went
to St. Stephens, the little stone church on
Congress St., where there was a beautiful simple
service, a choir of women & a fair sermon.
After we got out we walked down State St. to
the wharves - returning the same way. To my mind
this is the most beautiful city street I ever saw.
At 4.30 P.M. we walked to Weston Promenade.
It was very pleasant there but too hazy for a 
good view. C. read to me in the evening.
