girl,--Dorothy Dale
has willingly suffered your scorn and my possible displeasure. But I
never doubted her for one moment. And now we must forgive the other."

At this every head was bowed for a moment. When Mrs. Pangborn sat
down, the girls surrounded Dorothy.

Miss Higley ran to the piano and struck up the "Glenwood Reel."

"Get your partners!" shouted Molly, while there was a wild scramble for
"another pair of hands," everyone trying to get Dorothy, who had
already been taken possession of by Miss Crane.

Tavia actually took her hat off when Edna caught her. Then the merry
dance began, and such dancing! The old hall rang with mirth broken now
and then with wild cheers when Dorothy would "go down the middle," or
"swing all hands around."

There seemed to be no restrictions, no restraint--everyone was enjoying
herself to her heart's content.

And the meeting all ended in the uproarious and unanimous election of
Dorothy Dale, as president of the Glenwoods of Glenwood School!

"What a happy ending of all our troubles," said Dorothy to Tavia that
night.

"If they are all ended," responded Tavia. "Perhaps everything is not
yet smoothed out." And what Tavia suspected proved true, as we shall
learn in the next volume, to be called "Dorothy Dale's Great Secret."
Tavia was responsible for the secret, but Dorothy kept it faithfully.

A few days later Mrs. Pangborn received a telegram that Mrs. Green was
better and out of danger,--at least for the present.

"Do you imagine Viola will come back to Glenwood?" said Tavia.

"If she does, I will--I will try to do--my best by her," answered
Dorothy slowly.

"You dear, forgiving Dorothy Dale!" cried her chum, and kissed her.

RUBY AND RUTHY

Ruby and Ruthie were not old enough to go to school, but they certainly
were lively enough to have many exciting adventures, that taught many
useful lessons needed to be learned by little girls.

RUBY'S UPS AND DOWNS

There were troubles enough for a dozen grown-ups, but Ruby got ahead of
them all, and, in spite of them, became a favorite in the lively times
