Class?" finished Will, who had been busy tucking in the robe about Mollie's feet. "Personally I think we're a pretty fine crowd, take us all together." "Well, did you ever hear such--Frank, don't you think we'd better get started before he says anything worse?" and Betty turned appealingly to Frank. "Just as you say," he answered obligingly, and at his words the great car glided noiselessly down the drive and out into the street. "Where to?" called Will from the tonneau. "How about a little spin in the country, Frank?" "Ask the girls," was the reply. "What they say goes." "Oh, yes, let's," said Mollie eagerly. "It is just getting so green and beautiful now. Summer is the only time in the year anyway." "The winter didn't seem to bother you girls much last year," Frank broke in. "If I could go to Florida every winter, the cold and wintry blasts would have no more terrors for me."

Grace interrupted. "Is she going to ask you to make her a visit?" "No. It's lots better than that. You see Uncle James wants to take her to Europe this summer and so----" "Oh, Mollie!" Betty interrupted, her eyes sparkling. "You don't mean----" "Yes I do--exactly," and Mollie settled back with a contented sigh. "I'm afraid I am very stupid to-day," Grace remarked. "More than usual?" asked Will, the irrepressible, with a twinkle in his eye. "Why don't you see, Grace?" Betty's face was radiant. "Can't you see Mollie means that we are to occupy that vacated bungalow this summer?" "But please, girls, don't get your minds made up to it yet, for nothing is really settled, you know.
