From 8-year old Hilda’s diary:

Daddy’s trunk came yesterday afternoon soon after we arrived home. He brought Aunt Tillie lovely long white gloves and velvet pansies and handkerchiefs and perfume, and he brought Grandmother a lace shawl and black gloves and a pretty bag made of lovely beads. Grandfather’s gift is a pair of handsome grey gloves with fur inside them. Pretty is for women and handsome for men, Aunt Tillie taught me the difference yesterday. He brought me so many things. Lots of beautiful hair ribbons and a pretty mother-of-pearl fan for my dancing school and a little white leather purse and a white dress that came from Paris, but he forgot to bring presents for Sherry and Brownie. When I told him he said that he was very sorry that he did forget and he would correct it by buying surprises for them the first time he went downtown.
