fund for War Orphans, and to send the remainder to be given away as
treats for poor children.

Lispeth was highly enthusiastic, and full of future schemes.

"We'll do toy-making this term," she decreed, "and then next term we can
think of something else. In the spring and summer we'll have a Posy
Union to send bunches of flowers to sick people. We can't do anything of
that, of course, during the winter, unless some of you like to put down
bulbs; it would be lovely to give a pot of purple crocuses to a little
crippled child! I think making the toys is just A1. I want to start a
manufactory!"

"Barring the glue," said Susie Wakefield. "It smells simply abominable
when it boils over. Why doesn't somebody bring out a patent for
sweet-scented glue?"

"Sweet-scented glue! You Sybarite!"

"Why not? They could make it out of all those delicious gums and resins
you read about in books on the Spice Islands, instead of--by the by,
what is glue made of?"

"Horses' hoofs, I believe, but I fancy it's better not to ask what it's
made of. I don't think your gums and resins would do the deed so well.
We'd best stick to good old-fashioned glue."

"That's just what I complained of--I _do_ stick to it, or rather it
sticks to me. I get it all over my hands, and smears down my overall."

"Then you're an untidy workwoman, old sport, and I can't do anything for
you except recommend 'Gresolvent.'"

The girls were grateful for the latitude of the Handicraft class, for
otherwise they would have had little or no time to give to the
construction of toys. The homework of the College was stiff, and
certain games were compulsory. The hockey season had begun, and fixtures
had been made with other schools in the neighborhood.

"We must see that the old Coll. keeps up its reputation," said Blossom
Webster, the games captain. "Last year, when we had Lennie Peters and
Sophy Aston, we did a thing or two, didn't we? 'What girl has done, girl
can do!' and we've just got to buck up and try."

"Rather!" agreed the team.

Among the various matches which had been arranged was one with The
Clinton High School Old Girls' Association. It was an amateur team of
enthusiasts, who, debarred from playing any longer for their school, had
established a club of their own. They had sent a challenge to Grovebury
College, and it had been accepted.

"Saturday morning's a weird time for a match!" said Blossom, re-read
