thie's warmly expressed opinion coincided with that of their companion. "Shall we not speak of more pleasant things? What of the dance? At what time shall we come for you?" Adrienne had addressed herself to Freda. Glad to get away from the distasteful topic they had been discussing, the girls began to make their arrangements for the freshman frolic. After a little further talk, the five callers took their leave. "Well, what are we going to do about it?" demanded Judith, the moment they had reached the street. "I agree with that nice Miss Benham. We can't afford to have a paper like that going the rounds of the college." "I will of my own accord go to the Prexy. He is of _mon pere_ the old friend. He will not allow that such mischief should be done." Adrienne threateningly wagged her curly head, as she made this vengeful announcement. "Good for you, Imp!" lauded Judith.

Five minutes later the "Busy" sign was in place and the key turned in the lock. "Three of us can sit on my couch. That means you, Imp and Ethel. Now, Jane and Norma, draw up your chairs. Ahem!" Judith giggled. "What is the pleasure of this indignation meeting? You know what we think, Jane. Let's hear from you and Norma." "Oh, I haven't any voice in the matter," smiled Norma. "That is, I've no right to decide anything." "Neither have I, but I'm speaking just the same," laughed Ethel. "I say, 'On to Prexy with the horrible tale.'"
