"and remember, that I expect some original suggestions from you boys." Around the hall they went, stopping before each tent, while the girls explained its purpose. "What's this to be?" asked Tom, as he stopped at one corner of the hall that was closely curtained. "May I enter?" "Mercy, no," gasped Grace, catching him by the arm as he was about to move aside one of the heavy curtains. "That's Eleanor Savelli's own particular corner. None of us know what is behind those curtains. You see, Eleanor hasn't spoken to any of us since last year. When we first talked about having this bazaar we decided to make it a senior class affair. We didn't care to go to Eleanor and ask her to help, because she hasn't been nice to any of the Phi Sigma Tau, but we asked Miss Tebbs and Miss Kane, two of the teachers who are helping with this, to ask Eleanor to do something.

She has repeated that performance so often that I have grown used to it." "Look out for her just the same," advised Tom. "Where do we jollificate, to-night?" asked Hippy, as Grace and Tom joined them again. "Right here," said Nora with decision. "No fudge, no hot chocolate, no cakes, nothing except work until this bazaar is over, then we'll have a spread that will give you indigestion for a week. Do you solemnly promise to be good and not tease for things to eat, but be a ready and willing little toiler?" "I do," said Hippy, holding up his right hand.
