i Sigma Tau, who were drinking hot chocolate in the
Harlowe's sitting room, the day after school began.

"I feel just like a millionaire," she exclaimed, "even though the money
isn't mine. I'd just like to write one check to see how my name would
look signed at the bottom here."

"It does seem like a lot of money," observed Anne thoughtfully, "but I'm
afraid the check book won't be of much use to you, Marian, as you will
probably draw it all out in a lump when the time comes to hand it over
to Miss Thompson."

"Oh, I don't know," answered Marian, "we may have to give a few checks
for expenses and things, the next entertainment we get up, and then I'll
have an opportunity."

The girls laughed good-naturedly at Marian's evident eagerness to draw a
check.

"We'll certainly have to incur some kind of expense for the express
purpose of allowing Marian to draw a check," said Nora. "By the way,
Grace, which booth made the most money, outside the auction, of course?"

"Eleanor Savelli's," replied Grace promptly. "They made most of it on
confetti, too, although they sold quantities of flowers. They turned in
seventy-five dollars."

"Eleanor certainly did work," observed Anne. "One feels as though one
could forgive her all her sins after the success she made of her booth.
It is a shame that so much ability and cleverness is choked and crowded
out by wilfulness and temper."

"Did you hear about the quarrel that she and Edna Wright had, after she
attacked us?" asked Eva Allen.

"Yes," answered Grace. "I understand, too, that it has completely broken
up their sorority. They carried their part of the bazaar through
together and then Eleanor told Edna that she was practically done with
her."

"You don't mean it! I hadn't heard that! Who told you so?" were the
exclamations that followed this information.

"Daisy Culver told Ruth Deane, and Ruth told me," said Grace. "Ruth says
that Edna feels dreadfully over it. She was really fond of Eleanor."

"Now I suppose that Miss Eleanor Vendetta de Savelli will be more
impossible than ever," giggled Nora.

"Perhaps not," said Anne quietly. "I think it a very good thing that
Edna and Eleanor have separated, for Eleanor Savelli is a far better
girl at heart than Edna Wright. Eleanor is better off without her."

"I believe you are right, Anne," said Grace with conviction. "Although
Eleanor's reformation is not for us. We've had experience."
