with her usual snap and vigor, and had not her teammates put forth an
extra effort, her unintentional lagging would have lost them the game.
As it was they won it by only two points.

Completely disgusted with herself, Judith broke down in the
dressing-room and sobbed miserably. A proceeding which made Christine,
Barbara and Adrienne wonder what in the world had happened to upset
cheery, light-hearted Judy.

Back in her room, Judith cried harder than ever.

"I'm all upset," she wailed, her head on Jane's comforting shoulder. "I
don't see why Mrs. Weatherbee hasn't sent for us about that miserable

name, because I had heard a bell-boy page her several times and
knew who she was. She said that you were her cousin and that she
was only sending the letter for fun, that it wouldn't do you the
least bit of harm.

"I didn't like her at all. She was very hateful and supercilious.
I thought at the time that the letter was a queer kind of joke, but
I'd never been to college so I wasn't in a position to criticize
it. Anyway, it wasn't my business, so I typed it and signed it as
she requested. That's where I saw your name. I thought I would send
you the letter and ask you if it was really a joke. I found it the
other day in going over my files and it worried me. I realized that
I had done a very foolish thing in signing it. I should have
