I have permission to go, and I wish to wear my brown suit, but I have no tan shoes. I wear the same size as you." Hester smiled. She had known Renee but ten days, during which time she could not remember one instance when the conversation did not conclude with "will you lend?" Hester was deliberate in matters of getting from a gym suit into a dress.
One of the women teachers was granted a like increase for assuming charge of the evening gym. classes for young women. Dick Prescott, on behalf of the High School boys, guaranteed that the most skilled in athletics among the High School boys would be on hand to aid in training the young men, and in getting up sports and games for the gym. in winter, and for the athletic field in the spring.
"Ellen," broke out Joanna, with a glance down at her own high, tight bosom, "don't you ever wear stays?" "No. Miss Collins and the gym mistress both say it's unhealthy." "Unhealthy! And don't they never wear none themselves?" "Never. They look much better without besides, small waists are going out of fashion."
There had been something in Madeline's outspoken reference to her awkward carriage that, without hurting her, had struck home. Helen Chase Adams aspired to literary honors at Harding; to this desire was suddenly added a violent ambition to be what Madeline had termed "a marvel of grace." Betty was amazed, when she came in a little later, to find Helen trying on her gym suit.
It had the effect of heightening, mysteriously and indescribably, the joy, the madness, and the splendor. And it was dominant, insistent. Like some great and unintelligible motif it ran ringing and sounding through the vast rhythmic tumult of physical energy. Not for a moment did he connect it with the increasing interest that he took in the appearance of the Young Ladies of the Poly. Gym.
"Yes, I suppose I am," began Betty, "but " "It's perfectly simple," broke in Eleanor. "You go straight back to the gym. and work for the two of us, while I go and invite Miss Carlson to go with me to the reception. Where did you say she lives?" "Number 50 Market Street. Oh, Eleanor, will you really take her? She's probably oh, not a bit your kind, you know," ended Betty, doubtfully.
"If you go you must take me with you and this way," she included her gym togs in the statement. "Just be reasonable and rational. "There are others. But you just come over to that bench and tell me. What does all this mean?" There was no time for recrimination. The story so long bound up in the hearts of these two girls sprung freely to their lips.
Helen said, "How perfectly lovely!" and Betty decided that if Helen and Madeline would come to the gym in the morning and help with the last batch of costumes for the mob, she could get off by three o'clock in the afternoon. "That reminds me," she added, "that I promised Nerissa to ask Eleanor if she has any shoes to match her blue dress. The ones we ordered aren't right at all by gas-light."
"They are just as fond as we are of Oakdale High School. But, oh, girls, where are we going to play basketball!" The girls looked at each other in dismay. "What is life without basketball?" said Nora sadly. "True enough," said Anne, "but even though the gym. is gone we still have our school. It would be simply terrible to have had it go in our senior year."
On the day of Lord Roberts's inspection we had to change from parade dress to gym dress, and it was during the change that Lord Roberts inspected our quarters. He went into one room and found a fellow just half-way through his change with nothing at all on!
