Jane came in one day and found me prostrate on my couch, with a light of sufering in my eyes. "Dearest!" cried Jane, and gliding to my side, fell on her knees. "Jane!" "What is it? You are ill?" I could hardly more than whisper. In a low tone I said: "He is dead." "Dearest!" "Drowned!" At first she thought I meant a member of my Familey. But when she understood she looked serious.
On returning to my Chamber I spent a pleasant hour planing my maid-of-honor gown, which I considered might be blue to mach my eyes, with large pink hat and carrying pink flours. The next morning father and I breakfasted alone, and I said to him: "In case of festivaty in the Familey, such as a Wedding, is my Allowence to cover clothes and so on for it?"
But there's only one Harold Valentine, and now you've got him pinned to the wall! I'll tell you what I'll do, Barbara. I'm a real friend of yours. Always have been. Always will be. The chances are against the Familey letting him get this letter. I'll give it to him." "GIVE it to him?" "Why, he's here. You know that, don't you? He's in town over the holadays." "Oh, no!" I said in a gasping Voice.
Jane had followed him and HE HAD REALLY MAILED A LETTER. APRIL 14TH. I have taken a heavy cold and am, alas, HORS DE COMBAT. The Familey has issued orders that I am to stay in bed this A. M. and if stopped sneazing by 2 P. M. am to be allowed up but not to go to Camp.
Unless I die of the chill I'm getting just now, owing to one shouting Patriot in the Familey." "Is this your Country or William's?" I insisted, in an inflexable voice. "Oh, come now," he said, "we can divide it, William and I. There's enough for both. I'm not selfish." It is always thus in my Familey.
Everybody accepted, although Betty Anderson objected to the orange tie because she has red hair, and one of the Robinson twins could not get ten dollars because she was on probation at School and her Familey very cold with her.
I also bought a key ring for Tom, feeling that he should have somthing of mine, a token, in exchange for the Frat pin. I shall pass over lightly the following week, during which the Familey was packing for the country and all the servants were in a bad humer. In the mornings I took lessons driving the car, which I called the Arab, from the well-known song, which we have on the phonograph;
Since they have abandoned us, The G. A. C. must abandon them and do as it thinks best. Between Familey and Country, I am for the Country." Here they all cheered, and Hannah came in and said mother had a headache and to keep quiet. I could but look around, with an eloquent gesture. "You see, Members of the Corps," I said in a tence voice, "that things at present are intollerable.
But at last she said: "You dear thing how weary and wan you look!" I closed my eyes. "But you don't intend to give him up, do you?" "Look at me!" I said, in imperious tones. "Do I look like one who would give him up, because of Familey objections?" "How brave you are!" she observed. "Bab, I am green with envy.
If any parents or older sisters read this, let them see how wrong it is to leave any member of the familey in the dark, especialy in AFFAIRES DE COUER. Having seen from the verandah window that I had comitted an enor, and unable to bear any more, I crawled in the pantrey window again and went up stairs to my Chamber. There I undressed and having hid my weapon, pretended to be asleep.
