At least that's what the Sunday papers say. Miriam and I are going to room together. Come up with us." Mrs. Gibson had engaged rooms ahead for her party, and the girls soon found themselves in very luxurious quarters, with a trim maid on hand to attend to their wants. The boys had engaged rooms on the floor above that occupied by Mrs. Gibson and the Phi Sigma Tau.
They form a binary system of unknown period. The magnitudes are two and a half and ten, distance 4.7", p. 140°. Its near neighbor, Sigma 2054, may be a binary. Its magnitudes are six and seven, distance 1", p. 0°. In Sigma 2323 we have another triple, magnitudes five, eight and a half, and seven, distances 3.6", p. 360°, and 90", p. 22°, colors white, blue, and reddish.
"True," retorted Nora, "but for my part I think the Phi Sigma Tau have done their share toward the mending process." "Marian Barber!" exclaimed Grace. "Where in the world did you unearth that man you introduced us to, at the bazaar?" "Yes, I should say so," echoed Nora. "I didn't like him one bit." A flush overspread Marian Barber's plain face.
He had met Howell often, for they were members of the same Greek letter fraternity, the thrice illustrious Sigma Phi, and, only a few days before, Howell had presented me to him; but there was no fraternal bond visible now; justice was sternly implacable, and good round fines were imposed upon all the culprits caught.

Grace had received a note from Judge Putnam requesting that the Phi Sigma Tau call upon him at ten o'clock that morning. "Do hurry," said Jessica, as they neared the judge's beautiful home. "The sooner we get there the sooner we'll know." "Good morning, young ladies," said the judge, bowing with old-time gallantry as James ushered the eight girls into the library.

Be good children, and " She was interrupted by an exultant shriek, and a second later five girls appeared as by magic and gleefully surrounded the rescue party.

"Be careful what you do and say whenever she is near. She despises the Phi Sigma Tau and would revenge herself upon us at the slightest opportunity. She comes of a race who swear vendettas." "She better not swear any when I am around," retorted Nora with spirit, "or she will find that the Irish are equal to the occasion." "Don't excite yourself needlessly, Nora," laughed Anne.
Perhaps they were afraid of being waylaid." "I suppose they couldn't bear to see us win," said Grace. "But, O girls, I am so proud of our invincible team. It was a great game and a well-earned victory." "We ought to celebrate," said Miriam. "Come on. Here we are at Stillman's." Without waiting for a second invitation, the Phi Sigma Tau trooped joyfully into the drug store.
