lated in "Grace Harlowe's Senior Year at High
School," was retold, as well as many other eventful happenings of
their high school life. At a quarter to ten o'clock the four girls
escorted Eleanor to the "Tourraine," returning just inside the half-past
ten o'clock limit.

"Well, what do you think of Eleanor, Elfreda?" asked Grace, stopping for
a moment outside the room shared by Miriam and Elfreda before going to
her own.

"Don't ask me," rejoined Elfreda fervently. "I can't thank you girls
enough for the good time I've had to-night. But I want to say that if
there is anything I can do for any of you, just count on J. Elfreda
Briggs to do it."

"It isn't necessary for you to tell us that, Elfreda," said Anne. "We
know that you are true blue, and so does Eleanor."

"Does she really like me?" asked Elfreda eagerly.

"She likes you very much," interposed Grace. "She said so."

"Then I'm going to give a luncheon for her to-morrow afternoon at
Vinton's," declared Elfreda with shining eyes. "I wanted to suggest it,
to-night, but I was afraid she might not care to come."

"Couldn't you 'see' that she liked you?" teased Miriam.

"No, I couldn't. There are lots of things I can't 'see.' One of them is
why you girls ever went to so much trouble to make me 'see.' Good
night." Casting one glance of love and loyalty toward her friends,
Elfreda vanished into her room, and wise Miriam took care not to enter
the room until the stout girl's moment of self-communion had passed.

CHAPTER XXI

A GIFT TO SEMPER FIDELIS

When the news was whispered about through Overton College that the
attractive young woman who was frequently seen in company with Grace
Harlowe and her friends was the daughter of Guido Savelli, the renowned
virtuoso, it created a wide ripple of excitement among the four classes.
Curious juniors and dignified seniors grew interested, and Mabel Ashe
and Frances Marlton, who were Eleanor's sworn cavaliers, were besieged
with requests for introductions. Far from being spoiled by so much
adulation, Eleanor laughingly attributed it to her father's genius, and
flouted the idea that her own delightful personality had made her a
reigning favorite during her stay in Overton.

It took Grace some time to recover from the surprise occasioned by
Eleanor's unexpected arrival. During the month in which she had received
no letter from Eleanor, Guido Savelli had reconsidered his decision not
to appear in America and inst
