that it would have been pleasant, but she didn't
seem enthusiastic either.”

“We celebrated on the spot,” said Kathryn,
with a picture of the rejoicing stadium in her
mind.

Betty said nothing. She was tired. She
would have welcomed an assembly, but it did
not matter. The morning was over. But Mary
Emma brought up one incident as they left the
lunch room side by side. “I _thought_ it was
funny that you were rejoicing about having
your Cicero out ahead; but I knew you kept
ahead on your schedule whenever possible, so
it never occurred to me to remind you of prose-
comp on Monday!”

Betty gave Mary Emma a comical look, but
they hurried on to the next duty.

At the Lyon 'Y' meeting after school, Betty
was relieved to find that only the chairman of
the committee had resigned. She promptly ap-
pointed the proper one of the committee to
take her place and filled the vacancy by ap-
pointing Kathryn, for the very good reason that
Chauncey would then be properly available as
chauffeur and guard. Mary Emma was duly
appointed as a special committee of one to take
charge of reminding and notifying and to help
with gathering in.
