ly. "It is only three o 'clock. Why not start a movement among
the girls we know and send them a box? We can make the girls contribute,
but we won't tell a soul who it's for. We will ask for money or
presents--whatever they care to give," she went on eagerly. "What do you
think of it? Do you suppose they would be offended?"

"I think it is the greatest thing out!" exclaimed Grace
enthusiastically. "How can they be offended if we send the things
anonymously?"

"They can't," chuckled Arline gleefully. "Now we had better separate.
I'll do Morton House, Livingstone Hall and Wellington House. You can do
Wayne Hall, Holland House and those two boarding houses on the corner

to your house with my loot to-night, directly after dinner. Good-bye

At seven o'clock that night Arline set down a heavy suit case and rang

"Another girl gave me two pairs of gloves. She had half a dozen pairs
sent from home. She's going to New York for Christmas, so her home
presents were sent to her here. Ever so many girls who had bought
presents to take home gave me something from their store. I caught them
just as they were finishing their packing. But, best of all," added
Arline triumphantly, sinking into a chair and opening her brown suede
handbag, "I have money--fifty dollars! That will help some, won't it?"
She gave a little, gleeful chuckle.

"I should say so," gasped Grace. "I didn't do quite as well, although I
