Miss Street and Betty to talk over plans for
the present and future. A few days remained
before the plans for Thanksgiving baskets must
be carried out, before the Thanksgiving recess
or vacation. Betty's head was fairly be-
wildered, she told Carolyn; but she supposed
she would "get used to it."

Then the girls found a sequestered spot in
an empty recitation room not yet locked by the
janitor. "There," said Betty, handing Carolyn
the letter.

Carolyn turned it to see the return address
on the envelope. "He expects you to answer it,
I see, though he gives only street and number."

"I suppose so. He just wants to know if we
are alive, of course."

"H'm. Some town in Michigan. I can't make
out the postmark."

"He gives the full address inside. It's
Detroit."

Carolyn, unhurried, in spite of her calm of
being so curious, drew the letter from its en-
velope, remarking that the Don had gotten nice
stationery for his letter to Betty. It "looked
serious," she thought.
