She is a blonde with slender form that makes von think of a willowy reed in a breeze. It is re- markable how such a small head can hold so much. She is a graduate of the William S. Greene School, where she first learned to indulge in day dreams in class and take an optimistic view of life. But we must say that Jess can dn a lot of other things besides day dreaming, for she is an excellent artist, its you may see by her sketches adorning this Record Book, “She is tall and slender and divinely fair.

Clara seemed to fear being referred to as a “ healthy looking country maid,” but we leave tin reader to decide her title. (Tiara s favorite study is shorthand, for she says she just loves to take dictation. Clara is undecided about her choice of a future outlet for her energies, but she may become a stenographer. Of course, if she doesn't decide to enter the business world, we can readily surmise what will happen, sooner or later, to this fair maiden.
