"F COURSE tho hazing stunts were soon forgotten. In the happy, healthy life that the girls led nt Pal mertown there was no time for brood ing, and in addition to that Virginia wanted to forget. She was certain that Kathleen, meant nothing by It; certainly her attitude toward Virginia had been everything that could be de sired since then. The two girls were always together and Virginia was very happy. She wrote enthusiastic letters home to her mother about tho school, nnd almost every other sentence had some reference to Kathleen Foster. "She is coming home with, me at Christmas," Virginia wrote in ono of her letters. "I know you'll love her as much as I do. Oh, Mother, she's so wonderful to look at and such u queen among the girls, and yet she seems to like to be with me." Virginia never wrote of tho hazing. Something loyal in her nature kept her silent on tlilr question, which she had never settled in her mind to her own satisfaction. Kathleen had by now annexed Vir ginia quite safely to her train. She was certain that she could manage the younger girl perfectly ; that she had only to crook her binall white finger and Virginia would eagerly follow her through everything thut she suggested. But Kathleen had. after all. little un derstanding of Virginia's true charac ter. This was proved to her just be fore the Thanksgiving holldajs. In the sorority there were six girls who formed n Iittlo clique of their own. These girls were tho ringleaders, nnd Kathleen led them. Virginia wus, of course, one of these six. At Palmer town, as in every large boarding school, there were a certain few girls who had not been asked to join sororities. They were voted "dubs" by the others and they crept about the place, silent nnd unostentatious. Kathleen despised theso girls, mostly because they wcie studious and wore ugly clothes. Be sides, a girl wno wus not asked to be long to any of the sororities, not even the pooresjt of the three, was simply accepted in the bcliool ab impossible and her life was made mi&erable by the luckier girls. One of these girls, Edna Piatt, roomed on the same corridor with Vir ginia. It was not in Virginia's nature to snub this girl, although she did not particularly like her. However, she was kind to her and never snubbed and inbulted her as the other girls did. One night when Virginia was getting ready for bed there came u timid knock on the door, nnd when Virginia called "come in" Edna Piatt appeared on the threshold. She was wiapped in an ugly blanket b'lthrobc and she came into the room timidly und b-t down. "How lovely your hair is," she ven tured as Virginia finished brushing her short black hair. "Tou look Hko a lovely gipsy." There came an Imperious knock on the door nnd Kathleen burst into the room. She drew herself up haughtily when sho saw Edna Piatt and for a moment there was complete silence among the three girls. Finally Kath leen spoke, turning a cold, slim shoul der toward the intruder. "I'd like to speak to you, Virginia." she said frigidly. Her tono said quite plainly, "Get rid of this girl lmmedl ately, I'm here now." Virginia walked over and sat down near Edna. "Anything Important?" she asked, although her heart was beating chokingly up in her throat. Edna Piatt had flushed painfully nnd had half risen, but Vlrglniu pressed her back into her seat. Kathleen stood staring in amazement at Viiginia. This was something like flagrant disloyalty. Virginia was standing by this outsider, was calmly defying her best friend. It was as tounding 1 Again Edna Plntt rose to go. "Really, I must," she murmured as Virginia protested. Kathleen drew herself up to her en tire slim height. "No, I'll go," she said haughtily, sweeping out and leaving behind her a scent of expensive French perfume and an ache in Virginia's heart. Ednu Plutt turned to Virginia quickly. "Xou shouldn't have done that," she protested, "I was going, anyway. I just dropped in to say good-night; you've been so good to me. And now I've made a lot of trouble for you." Virginia denied .this laughingly und even went to the door with Edna when she left, but after tho door closed be hind the girl Virginia's heart bank and she knew that she was miserably un happy. She wanted more than any thing in the world to creep to Kath leen's room nnd beg forgiveness, but something held her back. Back of the desire to keep Kathlcen'b friendship was the knowlcdgo that not even for Kathleen could she have hurt poor Edna Plntt. It was Virginia's first knowledge that there was something in her nature that even Kathleen could not influence. (Tomorrow, How tho quarrel Ttas made up and the result.)
