Two things set her ofi : her famous saying— Don’t you think I am getting thin, girl? and the roar of her Willys-Knight. These, however, will aid her at Peirce’s Business School next year.

This quotation certainly suits her. for you never saw anyone more loyal to her friends and to her school. Music and Art are her specialties, but all lessons claim her attention. She expects to attend the Normal next year: so here's a bundle of luck, for “Everyone loves our Mary. WILLIAM BROWN GIBBS, JR. General Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.” Track.
