Feb 24 1917 Saturday
After breakfast all the Elders met here and we divided out the bills, of which we had 3000, to scatter over the city. I had 300 to my share, so we all spent most of the day working at that. In the afternoon I came home, took a bath, got cleaned up, did some studying and ofter supper Elder Lymon and I called for the girls and went over to Sister Blair's, where we spent the evening in practicing singing for Conference, which will be tomorrow.
On the way home from Blair's, I never laughed so much in all my life. I laughed until I cried, for La-Rose and i were going along as nice as you please, when all at once she slipped on the ice, for the sidewalk was very slick. She fell flat on her back and when she fell she kicked my feet from under me and I fell flat on my stomach on top of her head, and her trying to get up prevented me from getting off. I just snorted out and by laughing so, I was too weak to do anything until I finally rolled on my back and just screamed. It didn't hurt either of us, only it was so funny and to cap it all, a large bunch came along just in time to see it all. We finally got up and laughed, we both ducked our heads and beat it and laughed all the way home.
You see, that's what happens when we are not allowed to take hold of the ladies' arms, for as Elders we are not permitted to take hold of the lady missionaries' arms, or any other ladies, while walking along the streets. The people who saw us fall, I guess they thought we were crazy. I sure felt like a fool.
