Summary for Chapter 3 of Pictures of Hollis Woods.

In Chapter Three, Josie, Henry and Hollis eat a can of soup every night, and they eat big on days that Josie receives her check. When Hollis suggests spreading the money out, Josie hums an old song instead of answering, and Hollis knows what no one at the agency has guessed: Josie forgets things sometimes, and Hollis often has to help her finish a sentence or think of the proper word. One night, Josie says they are going to meet her cousin, Beatrice, at the movies. Josie puts a brown hat on Hollis' head and pulls her in front of the mirror, but Hollis does not like to look at herself and see her scar from the accident on Old Man's Mountain; she can pretend it never happened if she does not look at it. With the hat on, Hollis looks pretty though, and Josie gives her the hat, telling Hollis that her face is beautiful. Having no money for gas, they walk to the movie theatre in the rain, and Josie introduces Hollis to Beatrice Gilcrest, her cousin and best friend. Josie and Hollis make popcorn in exchange for their tickets and watch a movie about a boy, his dog and Christmas in a small town in New Jersey. On the way home, Josie tells Hollis they can decorate for Christmas as she twirls in the streets. In her head, Hollis tells Steven that Josie is more than enough and tries not to think about her "W" picture.
