Felicity has not yet fully recovered . A new boy is coming to school . His name is Cyrus Brisk and his folks moved up from Markdale . He says he is going to punch Willy Fraser 's head if Willy keeps on thinking he is Miss Cecily King 's beau . -LRB- CECILY : `` I have n't ANY beau ! I do n't mean to think of such a thing for at least eight years yet ! '' -RRB- Miss Alice Reade of Charlottetown Royalty has come to Carlisle to teach music . She boards at Mr. Peter Armstrong 's . The girls are all going to take music lessons from her . Two descriptions of her will be found in another column . Felix wrote one , but the girls thought he did not do her justice , so Cecily wrote another one . She admits she copied most of the description out of Valeria H. Montague 's story Lord Marmaduke 's First , Last , and Only Love ; or the Bride of the Castle by the Sea , but says they fit Miss Reade better than anything she could make up . HOUSEHOLD DEPARTMENT Always keep the kitchen tidy and then you need n't mind if company comes unexpectedly . ANXIOUS INQUIRER : We do n't know anything that will take the stain out of a silk dress when a soft-boiled egg is dropped on it . Better not wear your silk dress so often , especially when boiling eggs . Ginger tea is good for colds . OLD HOUSEKEEPER : Yes , when the baking-powder gives out you can use tooth-powder instead . -LRB- FELICITY : `` I never wrote that ! I do n't care , I do n't think it 's fair for other people to be putting things in my department ! '' -RRB- Our apples are not keeping well this year .
They are rotting ; and besides father XXXXX we eat an awful lot of them .
