But that by the first Menu we are to understand Adam, is evident, both from the remarkable circumstance of himself and his consort bearing the titles of Adima and Iva, and from the no less remarkable tradition that one of his three sons was murdered by his brother at a sacrifice.

"All the girls are, too. "Does he care for them? For any of them? For all of them? "For that detestable Daisy? That disgusting Iva? That rotten Lotta! "Oh, I may as well admit it I just adore Bill! "This frock is too tight I must have it stretched. "Yes, I'm mad over my husband but " She sought Petticoat in his rooms.

Some of the girls raised a cheer, others took no notice; Miss Mitchell, who seemed in a hurry, vanished back into the study. The boarders, hearing their tea-bell, made for the hostel. "Congrats, Mavis!" said Iva, as she walked away arm-in-arm with Nesta. "I'm glad the lot has fallen on you. Muriel was pretty sure of a walk-over, but it was a toss-up who was to be the fourth.

They quarrelled about the silliest trifles: the loan of an indiarubber, the loss of a pencil, or some slight differences of opinion, over which they would argue hotly. It was a pity, for at bottom Iva was a nice girl, and was merely passing through a phase from which she would probably soon have recovered if Merle would only have let her alone.

That, however, was exactly the point. Merle wanted Iva to mind, and was extremely annoyed because the incident left her unruffled. One afternoon, in the musical appreciation class, the two had partly patched up past squabbles, and, for a wonder, were sitting side by side.

The subject was 'Handel, and for one of the illustrations Miss Mitchell called upon Merle to play the celebrated 'Largo. She went through her performance quite creditably, took her music, and turned from the piano. Then she saw that during her absence Kitty had commandeered her seat next to Iva.

Her trouble lay in the fact that though she was a school officer from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M., out of those hours her authority was non-existent. Iva and Nesta were hostel monitresses, and they had quite plainly and firmly given her to understand that they did not expect any interference. They were perfectly within their rights, and Merle knew it, but she chafed nevertheless.

Five of their old companions were with them, Iva Westwood, Nesta Pitman, Aubrey Simpson, Muriel Burnitt, and Edith Carey, and the remaining four consisted of Beata Castleton, Fay Macleod, and two strangers, Sybil Vernon and Kitty Trefyre. Romola Castleton had been placed in the Fourth, together with Maude Carey, Babbie Williams, Nan Colville, Tattie Carew, and several other new girls.

"Oh, Warble, you ought to be more careful about eating in public. It isn't done. Watch Iva Payne she doesn't." "Oh, Bill " Warble began to cry. "I want to go back to the restaurant " "No, no now, Cream Puff, I didn't mean to lambaste you. But they're a smart crowd "

"There's a sneaky look about her eyes," she commented to Mavis. "Sybil lunges out and finds open fault, but Kitty hits in the dark. I hope she's not going to spoil Iva!" "Oh, don't say that!" "They're chums already, and Iva is rather a chameleon! She takes the colour of her character from her friends." Chagmouth Folk
