Jennie Areklet is teaching the business - minded children of the Hart high school how to keep books , cipher interest , write notes ( Oh , they know how , Jennie ) and write the funny short - handed alphabet , and mind their own business and other people's , too . As a result of Jennie's instructions they will become long - headed and short - handed .

Horace Sessions , who will again make a pilgrimage to Cali- fornia this autumn by auto , has looked his Dodge Sedan over doubtfully , cuffed its ears and told it to stay in the garage all winter . He has ordered a ford to make the trip to California . The Dodge Sedan is so unsturdy that he doesn't even care to drive it through the sand a mile down to the lake when he takes his evening swim . Well , all he got the sedan for anyway , was to keep Mrs. Sessions ' hair from blowing in the wind .

Calm and unafraid Hazel Weeks , the apple blossom , sat on her rocking horse and rode around the merry - go - round at the fair with her arms lying unconcerned in her lap and not clinging to anything for support .

I found I could do likewise and let loose with my hands in the same unclinging abandon , but I could not persuade the girls to ride that way .

Those 14 - year - old blondes in Weare , called the heavenly Kokx twins , look so nearly alike that their own grandmother could not tell them apart for four years . But the children who play with them at school tell me there is a slight inner difference in the girls which you begin to notice if you attempt to pick a quarrel with them . Alberta gets mad quickly and Alvera likes to be teased .

Take your old wagon out into the orchard and shake the trees until the wagon is full of cider apples and then haul them to Shelby and sell them to C. E. Ellis .

Miss Carrie Arnold , who used to be a prominent society girl of West Golden , came up from Muskegon and stayed two weeks with lone and positively asserts that she is not married nor likely to be .
