from seeing Miss Hogarth to say that every-
body on Miss Hogarth's list had been provided
for and that if the girls had so much, she'd ad-
vise their taking it to the Associated Charities.

Some of the girls liked that idea and others
did not. There was a brief argument about the
matter till Betty suggested that they deliver the
first basket and then decide about the other.
“We might see some place where a basket is
needed, you know,” she said.

They waited a little for Chauncey, who ar-
rived, however, sooner than they thought it pos-
sible, since it had turned out to be necessary for
him to go home. Budd LeRoy accompanied him
to the door of the room where the girls waited,
such of them as were ably to accompany the
expedition. The boys carried the baskets, two
of them now, since Chauncey had found one at
home, and the girls helped with packages that
were in danger of being dropped off. “Please
remember which baskets those things came
from,” Betty reminded them and they started,
through the halls and down the stairs, to the
basement and outer door at the rear, in great
mirth and spirits.

“Is this the relief corps!” asked Mr. Franklin,
whom they met on the way, and several gay
voices answered him.
