White into her confidence. Mrs. White was executive as well as musical. She was tactful, too, and under her guidance Joy was gradually steered into a port that became a haven; a refuge from her old self, her youthful environment. Another interest had come into Blue Bonnet's life. One that bade fair to rival all others, and pave the way for future usefulness.
Miss Clyde had often wondered during the summer if the responsibility of so many girls had not been too much of a tax on her mother's strength and patience, but her letters had been so cheerful, so uncomplaining, that she had tried to put the thought out of her mind, attributing it to overanxiety. Blue Bonnet's entrance prevented further questioning.

"There's all the Dep'fords goin', six in the wagon," she told us joyfully; "an' Mis' Alva Tilley's folks are now risin' the hill in their new carry-all."

They fitted admirably with a few alterations, and to Blue Bonnet's great joy Miss Clyde took both and yet another; a sheer white linen lawn with a pink silk slip, which called forth all the adjectives Blue Bonnet could muster.

When you enter Miss North's school, you will be under her supervision, not ours subject to her approval." A little pucker wrinkled Blue Bonnet's brow. "Shall I?
