Elizabeth begins this diary by writing, “And now begins it another 5 years – a new baby, a new home? More happiness? Less? What price, progress? Anyhow it started with a hangover and weariness.” She calls baby Helon “Spitty.” She continues to care for her children and spend much of her time on chores, socializing, and, as she writes on February 8, “to get beautifyed.” She shops and goes to the Chase and Forest Park for entertainment. She also visits her parents and goes to the dentist’s office frequently. She socializes at the Chase and Busch’s Grove., 1927, Box: 1. Elizabeth Nulsen Young Diaries, A1789.
