From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:
Today Aunt Tillie bought me a pretty scrap book and a bottle of paste, and this afternoon I started to paste pictures in it. I have some very pretty ones that the nuns gave me and some beautiful ones sent to me from my Grandparents who live in Germany that have beautiful colors with gold and silver too. I have cut some of the pictures out of magazines and there are some of brides and bride’s maids and pigs and cows and horses and windmills. I put Jesus Christ in the middle of the first page with bride’s maids all around him, then I put cows and pigs in each corner. Aunt Tillie came in and was angry. She said I shouldn’t have put Jesus together with cows and pigs and that I hadn’t pasted the pictures straight. So she did the next page. Little children, walking in a straight row between rows of flowers and it was very pretty and neat, but it wasn’t any fun.
