Jan 10.--The new principal CT,
Yesterday, Prof. MacAichael- He wear
blue-glasses, and when he stands with
his back toward you, and you begin to
whisper and toss notes, his blue-glasses
reflect you like little mirrors, and he
turns rvund and catches you in the
very act. l thought it was magic or
spiritualism at first; now see it's blue
glass.
He's very handsome-but then he
knows so much! l suppose Marla'n
fall in love with him; she always does.
If she does, Sophy'll tell of her. cant
see what papa adopted Sophia for, the
little tattler? If only it had happened
to be my dear Maria!
Well, the professOr'n soon see what

nervous. Miss Palmer said this shouldn't
count. She's perfectly splendid. Per
haps I'll get the ring, after all.

way to write in diary. l forgot all
u about the weather. It's cold and

so interested to read that item when
, I'm forty.
Perhaps ought to quote poetry and
write about my feelings; Maria says
that s what she does. She writes, ~
stars, vast worlds, radiant spheres,
. what perfect being waits in you whose
soul longs to meet mine when with
