From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:
Uncle Milton and Aunt Retta came for dinner last night. Her real name is Henrietta but no one calls her that. I don’t think Grandmother and Retta like each other very much, but I know I do. I really like Aunt Retta, only she disappointed me at her wedding. I thought all brides wore lace, and veils and orange blossoms, but she only wore an ordinary dark blue suit and a plain white blouse and a hat with some red feathers in it and Uncle Milton wore a dark blue suit too and he had a dark blue tie and so I’m not sure they are really married.
