Sh? misses him so. Billie: John Edwards has just arrived. After graduating from Annapolis, he returned to Florence to find Nancy Evans and ask for her hand.

She is an admirer of Henry and ends all her speeches in his manner. Billie: I hear that Ella May Eskridge is very happily married to Windy Dyer. She is a very sweet woman and mother.

She is giving lectures on how to be pleasant. And did you know that Clyde Evans is author of a famous comic strip? It is similar to Buck Rovers of the goed old days. You know Clyde always could use his imagination. Billie: Lois Anderson is experimenting with a new formula to make freckles. She always wanted seme, you know.

I didn’t know before that she was mechanical minded. Billie: Dora Lee Mauller is teaching Ephraim Merritt to-toe dance. He says that it is good for him. because he gets to hold her hand. And dees he like that. He is thinking of marrying her. I hear. Viola: Carmen Ficco is teaching Hawaiians to swim.
