When Kathleen's Leadership Failed
Synopsis
Virginia West, entering boarding
school, is strangely drawn toward
""l n Foster, who tries to In
clude Virginia among the group whom
sho rules.
"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.

made up and the result.)
