btfully. "Still, I think it would be more fun to have
just stunts. Those of us who know any ought to be willing to come
forward and do them. We can ask some of the upper class girls to help.
Beatrice Alden sings; so does Frances Marlton. Mabel Ashe can do almost
any kind of fancy dancing. There is plenty of talent in college. The
junior glee club will sing for us, I am sure.

"We can make it a regular vaudeville entertainment, and have posters
announcing each number. We can have two girls, costumed as pages, to
bring out and remove the posters announcing the numbers."

"That's a good idea," approved Arline. "I can sing baby and little-girl
songs and dance a little. I might sing one to fill in."

"You are engaged to sing one the first time you come to see me," laughed
Grace. "Here is talent of which we never dreamed. I knew you could sing,
but you never before confessed to being a real song and dance artist."

"We shall have all 'headliners in our show,' as the billboard
advertisements beautifully put it," commented Miriam. "I wish Eleanor
were here, don't you, Grace? Then Anne could recite 'Enoch Arden.'"

"Who is Eleanor, and why can't Anne recite 'Enoch Arden' without her?"
were Elsie Wilton's curious inquiries.

"The 'Eleanor' we speak of is in Italy, studying music, or was the last

"I wish she were to be here to our show, then," said Arline plaintively.

"Savelli," replied Grace quickly.

"Eleanor Savelli, the famous Italian pianiste," announced Arline, bowing
to an imaginary audience. "Her name is the same as that of Savelli, the
great virtuoso, isn't it?"

"He is her father," said Grace simply.

A little murmur of astonishment went up.

"Oh, if she had only come to Overton instead of going to Italy!" sighed
Elizabeth Wade. "I heard Savelli play at a concert three years ago. I
shall never forget him."

"We were awfully disappointed," interposed Miriam. "Eleanor's father was
to tour America this winter, but changed his mind. There was talk of a
spring tour, but we haven't heard from Eleanor for over a month, so we
don't know whether there is any possibility of his sailing for America.
If he did come to this country, Eleanor would b
