I forgot one little item of interest -- one evening this week, Ruth* came in and said that the girls were going to smoke cigarettes (seventh grade girls) how's that? And they were all getting fancy garters. She didn't know whether her Grandma would let her do the latter or not.
Well, I got my lesson back yesterday. I didn't get such a bad grade -- 95, but the criticism discouraged me. I got a sick headache over it. "He" said I needed to learn dramatization and characterization. I agree with him all right, but how am I to do it?
We got the Woman's Home Companion yesterday and American this A.M. Also got Neil's exchanged cap -- O.K. Regular old March wind today, but sunshiny. Bricky is rocking her nude baby, signing to it, making up her song as she goes along. I must get lunch.
*I believe that Ruth is Ruth Hayson, the daughter of James Hayson (Uncle Jim) and Lula Cramer. Uncle Jim was only 16 years older than Winnie and married fairly late (age 30). His wife, Lula, was 13 years younger than he -- the same age as Zella. Ruth was twelve or thirteen in 1925 and I think she stayed with Winnie and John for a time at some point.
