Sunday, February 26, 1922

Bright, warm. Springlike. Arose 7 A.M. To Church at Brookline in A.M. Met Miss Barker. Dinner at Ginters. To Lexington on trolley via Cambridge and Arlington Heights. Walked about. To room. Took bath. To Park St Congregational Church to C.E. and Service. Lunch. To bed 11:30 P.M.

**********
Ginter's is a restaurant in Boston, near Simmons College, at least that is implied by a statement in the 1922 yearbook for Simmons, describing a senior by the name of Gertrude Christine Butler: "The idol of the Freshmen, she is ready for anything, provided she can go to Ginter's for her cup of coffee before she comes home."

Park Street Congregational Church is a historic church on Boston Commons. Below is a stereoscopic photo taken in the late 19th century and one taken in the 1910s that shows the original burying ground that was next to the old granary that was torn down. Learn more about it at Wikipedia.
