In their eyes, though, a certain look. And so off for Camp Sherman, their young heads sticking out of the car windows in clusters black, yellow, brown, red. But for each woman on the depot platform there was just one head. Tessie saw a blurred blond one with a misty halo around it. A great shouting and waving of handkerchiefs: "Good-by! Good-by! Write, now! Be sure!
How comfortable the room seemed! How strange she should be in it? And where was the unfortunate, headstrong Tessie? A prayer for the safety of the wandering one sprung from the heart of this other girl, now away from home the very first night in her young life.
