COM M ENT
“ I th in k i t ’s so n ic e ,” said a new g irl, “ to begin
to get ready for C hristm as so long before hand. It
gets you all stirred u p w ith the C hristm as s p ir it.”
T w o sm all g irls were talk in g :
“ I bet th is school is nicer th an that other school
you w ent to; it w asn ’t as b ig .”
“ I bet it was; it was b ig g e r.”
“ You d id n ’t have as good a p p le s.”
“ I did, to o —b e tte r.”
“ You d idn’t have as much fu n .”
“ B etcha— had m ore. H ad ev ery th in g b e tte r .”
“ I know som ething you d id n 't have. You d id n ’t
have any w reck on the ra ilro a d .”
T h a t settled it in C hem aw a’s lavor.
M ary E m ily H auser had been at school a day w hen
she said to Miss O rr: “ I have a b rother, but he
d o esn ’t know m uch; h e ’s never been to sc h o o l.”
