"What have I been guilty of now, Josie?"
"Oh yes, to be home more than a week without sending Fred. or
Charlie to let me know. And this precious article," pointing to
Helen, "I thought in Halifax."
"Am sorry you are so sadly disappointed, Josie."
"Come now Miss Helen, I mean no offence and though it is nearly two
months since I saw you, remember I have not forgotten your promise."
"What about?" asked Helen.
"Celestial entertainment, my dear," ventured Madge.
"I thought myself to be free, for you know, my dear, that was some

had a note from Marion and she says they had a most delightful time
at the Encaenia and spoke of two young gentlemen who graduated with
the highest honors. I met them frequently and received much kindness
from them.
