"Mother had to make her coat shorter. I went down to Elsie's house. While I was down there she washed a few clothes and baked biscuits and a cake and moped the floor. Mother and Daddy went down town. I had supper at Elsie's. Angie got a job, he has to work in the after noon till 8 or 11 P.M. I stayed at Elsie's about four hours. Mother bought me a pair of mittens. Joyce got shoes and broom."
At only four-foot-eleven, my great-grandmother Marie had to make a lot of her clothing shorter, I imagine!
It sounds like Angie worked a swing shift. I'm sure Elsie appreciated Shirley's company (and probable help) while her husband was at work.

Was that a toy broom for Joyce?
