st misdeeds and see if you can discover any reason for a
summons."

Grace shook her head. "No," she said slowly. "I can't think of a single,
solitary thing."

"Then don't worry about it," was Elfreda's comforting advice. "Whatever
it is, you are ready for it."

As Grace entered the dean's office that morning a vague feeling of
apprehension rose within her. The dean, a stately, dark-haired woman
with a rather forbidding expression, which disappeared the moment she
smiled, glanced up with a flash of approval at the fine, resolute face
of the gray-eyed girl who walked straight to her and said firmly, "Good
morning, Miss Wilder."

"Good morning, Miss Harlowe," returned the dean quietly. Then picking up
a letter that lay on the middle of her desk, she said gravely: "I
received a very peculiar letter this morning, Miss Harlowe, and as it
concerns not only you, but a number of your friends as well, I thought
it better to send for you. You may throw light upon what at present
seems obscure."

Grace mechanically stretched forth her hand for the open letter and
read:--

"When giving an entertainment in any of the halls or in the
gymnasium, is it not usually customary, not to say courteous, to
ask permission of the president of the college or the dean
beforehand? The young women whose names appear on the enclosed
list evidently do not consider any such permission necessary.
For the past week preparations for a bazaar have been going
briskly forward, to be held in the gymnasium on the evening of
November ----. For inside information inquire of Miss Harlowe.

"A WELL WISHER."

Grace read the note through twice, then, looking squarely at the dean,
she said: "May I see the enclosed list?" The dean handed her a smaller
slip of paper on which appeared the names of the girls who had been
present at the meeting in her room. Grace scanned the slip earnestly.
Her color rose slightly as she returned it to Miss Wilder.

"The names on this list are the names of the young women who belong to
the Semper Fidelis Club. After the concert last spring it was partly
decided to give a bazaar the following autumn. The other day the club
met in my room to talk over the matter. As we were all in favor of
giving one, the meeting was open for the discussion of ideas for
attractive features. Finally something was proposed that was so very
clever we couldn't help adopting it. I assure you, Miss Wilder,
