Unidentified American Brother and Sister (United States, late 1920s)

This American brother and sister were probably photographed in the late 1920s. The children's first names are written on the back, but unfortunately cropped, so we are unsure about them, but we do know thet are 7 and 9 years old. They are ???audie 9 years old and ????y Ruth 7 yeats old. We know their grandmother's name was Harris. So their last name nay be Harris, although we do noy know if she was the maternal or paternal grandmother. The portrait is not dated, but we know it would have been taken in 1926 or later because it has square boxes in the AZO stamp box. The children's clothing suggest that the portrait was taken in the late 1920s. The early 30s is possible, but the late 20s seem most likely. The little girls short dress conforms this time period as well as the boys above the knees knickers worn with kneesocks.
