I thought of this saying on one of, those days when I was feeling a little depressed and was sitting at home, with my chin in my hands, bored and listless, wondering whether to stay, in or go out. I finally stayed where I was, brooding : Yes, paper does have, more patience, and since I'm not planning to let anyone else read this, stiff-backed notebook grandly referred to as a 'diary', unless I should ever, find a real friend, it probably won't make a bit of difference., Now I'm back to the point that prompted me to keep a diary in the first, place : I don't have a friend., Let me put it more clearly, since no one will believe that a thirteen-yearold girl is completely alone in the world. And I'm not. I have loving parents, and a sixteen -year-old sister, and there are about thirty people I can call, friends. I have a family, loving aunts and a good home. No, on the surface, I seem to have everything, except my one true friend., , 102/ II, , P. T. O.

The lady of the house must prepare sandwiches on the occasion of, her daughter's engagement. Cakes and bolinhas are a must for Christmas, as well as other festivals. Thus, the presence of the baker's furnace in the, village is absolutely essential., The baker or bread-seller of those days had a peculiar dress known as the, kabai. It was a single-piece long frock reaching down to the knees. In our, childhood we saw bakers wearing a shirt and trousers which were shorter, than full-length ones and longer than half pants.
