Easter not enough

(1966 April 9)

March 19 I took a pattern and material etc. to dressmaker (Mrs. Knothe). No murmur. Finally I called her and she said, "O, did you want that for Easter?" Then she tried, but she didn't make it. To vindicate herself, she asked where I was going anyway that I needed a new outfit. I said I would like to wear it to church, and she laughed to show what a silly idea that was. "Why you couldn't wear it anyway this weather without your coat." Foolishly I carried on the conversation and said I realized that but intended to take coat off when I got there. But unless she know what the occasion is, and if important enough, she will not rise to it. So tomorrow I worship perhaps more humbly than I would have otherwise, in an old outfit. Really, I am not broken up, only annoyed.
