She gave one despairing glance about the room, her eyes sweeping the almost deserted quarters, and rising she made straight for the door. Wee and Patty, Sue and Angela followed silently. At her own door Blue Bonnet paused and held out her hand. "I reckon I'll say good-by, girls," she said. "Carita and I are going over to the hotel to spend the night with Grandmother and Aunt Lucinda.

"That's a part of the furnace room," she said. "You can go through here and follow another little dark hall oh, much worse than this and it takes you to the kitchen and pantries. We went down one night last year " "One night?" Carita shuddered. "Yes, it was loads of fun. There were five or six of us. We ate enough apple sauce and fresh bread to kill us."

Evidently my chance request to Karatoff had been builded better than I knew. I ran my gaze over the others. Errol was no less engrossed than Marchant. Quickly I glanced at Carita, wondering whether she might be gratified by the performance of a pupil.

And what's this long dresses! Honey, Honey, where's Uncle Cliff's little girl?" There was a note in the man's voice that struck deep at the girl's heart. "Here she is," she cried, snuggling into the warm embrace again. "She'll never be anything but a little girl to you never! That's proper length just a speck below my shoe-tops. Will you sit here a minute while I find Carita?

Mary said, pausing a moment. "First year here, too?" "Yes, my first year." Mary waved her hand toward the room. "Make yourselves at home," she said hospitably. "Everything is in a muss, yet. I only got in myself this morning. I'll be back in a minute." "Don't you think she's nice?" Carita asked with enthusiasm, as soon as the door closed. "She seems to be. You're in luck, Carita.

"My room-mate isn't back yet. I shouldn't be half so lonesome." "All right if do you think they'd mind?" Carita addressed Mary. Mary took a look down the hall. "Skip along," she said generously. "All's serene on the Potomac. You'd better hurry though, while the coast's clear." And hurry they did.

"Have you been awfully lonely, Carita?" "No not a bit." "Really?" "No, truly I haven't. Mrs. Goodwin is such a dear, Blue Bonnet. She makes me think of my mother. She read to me and cooked things for me, herself: the best milk toast, with cream on it; and to-day I had ice-cream " "You did? Well, that's more than we had. This was heavenly hash day!"

Blue Bonnet's impulses bewildered her sometimes, they were so stupendous. Blue Bonnet was insistent. "There's all that money coming to me that my father left," she went on, "and Uncle Cliff says that some day there will be more from him. What ever am I going to do with it? Carita Judson has an awfully poor sort of a time, Aunt Lucinda, awfully poor.

Quite unsatisfied with the result of my investigation, I could not restrain my impatience to get back to the laboratory to find out whether Kennedy had made any progress in his tests of the tea. "If you had been five minutes earlier," he greeted me, "you would have been surprised to find a visitor." "A visitor?" I repeated. "Who?" "Carita Belleville," he replied, enjoying my incredulity.

We'll take the We Are Sevens shopping with us to-morrow morning and when you and Carita have selected your gowns I will suggest that the others select too a little gift from me or from you, if you think best." Blue Bonnet clapped her hands with delight. "The very thing," she cried. "Then they can't think it was planned. They'll be so delighted. Oh, Uncle Cliff, you are so dear, so dear!"
