would not refuse us," smiled Eleanor. "Now hadn't we
better hurry home and make up the rest of the programme?"

By eight o'clock Friday evening every available foot of space in Music
Hall was crowded with Overton students. The front rows of the hall had
been reserved for the faculty, who were quite in sympathy with the idea
of the new club. In order to obtain permission to use this hall, Grace
had gone to the dean with the story of the organization of Semper
Fidelis and its purpose. The dean had sympathized heartily with the
movement, and had at once laid the matter before the president of the
college, who willingly gave the desired permission.

As the Semper Fidelis Club was composed entirely of sophomores, twelve
young women of the sophomore class had been detailed as ushers and
ticket takers. The majority of the club members were down on the
programme, therefore these duties had been turned over to their
classmates. Grace, besides appearing in the Spanish dance with Miriam,
had taken upon herself the duties of stage manager. The two smallest
sophomores in the class, dressed as pages, had been chosen to place the
posters announcing the various numbers on the standards at each side of
the stage. These posters had been designed and painted by Beatrice Alden
and Frances Marlton, who, with Mabel Ashe, Constance Fuller and several
other public-spirited seniors, had generously offered their services. As
both Beatrice and Frances possessed considerable skill with the brush
they turned out extremely decorative posters, which were afterward sold
to various admiring students for souvenirs of the club's first
entertainment.

"I am so tired," declared Grace to Eleanor as they stood at one side of
the stage while the Glee Club, composed of juniors and seniors, arranged
themselves preparatory to filing on to the stage. "Everything seems to
be going beautifully though. Not a single performer has disappointed us.
How pretty the Glee Club girls look to-night."

"Lovely," agreed Eleanor. "The audience is out in its best bib and
tucker, too. Nearly every girl in the house is in evening dress."

"Consider the occasion," laughed Grace. "Our show would not have
amounted to much if it had not been for you and your distinguished
father. Anne could not have recited 'Enoch Arden,' without your
accompaniment, and the crowning glory of having the great Savelli play
would have been missing. It reminds me of our concert, Eleanor," she
added
