figure gliding
about the room and smiled. What a dear, funny little person Otoyo was.

"I am so glad. How joyful you must be. When is he coming, Otoyo?"

"He has arriving----" Otoyo broke off quickly. Excitement always
strangely affected her English. "He has arrived now in New York and he
will come here to-morrow for the end-week."

"Week-end, you mean, child. Now, what shall we do to amuse him besides
showing him the sights? Wouldn't you like us to give him a dance or a
fudge party or something?"

Otoyo clasped her hands joyfully.

"It will be enough for my honorable father to see all the beautiful
young American ladees and the buildeengs. He will not require of his
humble daughter amusements. He is much grateful to young ladees for
kindness to little Otoyo. My honorable father will be thankful to you."

"Perhaps you would like us to go with you to the train to meet him?"
Molly suggested, wondering why Otoyo still lingered, now that she had
unburdened herself of the good news and had seen plainly that Molly was
very, very busy. But no, Otoyo thought so many young ladees at once
might embarrass her honorable parent. She would prefer to bring him to
call at No. 5 Quadrangle on Sunday afternoon if entirely acceptable.

It would be acceptable. They would all be delighted and the crowd would
be there to receive the honorable gentleman. And now, Molly was sure
Otoyo would go. But Otoyo had something else on her mind, evidently.
Molly sighed. Not for worlds would she hurt her small friend's feelings,
but she did wish she had put a busy sign on the door. It had been such a
perfect time to study, with Nance at a lecture and Judy practicing
basket ball.

"Will Mees Brown do me one great beeg favor?" began Otoyo with some
embarrassment.

"Yes, indeed. Anything."

It appeared that Otoyo was very anxious to call on Professor Green and
she wished Miss Brown to go with her.

"You have seen the honorable Professor?" she asked innocently.

"No, I have been to inquire every day, but Miss Fern told me he was not
permitted to see visitors."

For the first time in their acquaintance Molly saw Otoyo show signs of
real displeasure.

"Mees Fern?" she repeated. "She cannot say no and yes. It is for the
nurse to say."

Molly admitted that she had not seen the nurse.

"Then you will come?" cried Otoyo, with almost as much enthusiasm as she
had shown over the coming visit of her honorable father.

"But----" began Molly.

"
