We have done our part." "Can we do anything to help you, Anne ?" asked Grace.
"Yes," replied Anne, looking ruefully at the overflowing trunk.

"You can all come over and sit upon this trunk.

I never shall get the lid down any other way." This having been successfully accomplished, the three girls took leave of Anne, who promised to be on hand for a final session that night at Grace's.
Before eight o'clock the next morning Anne departed for New York, laden with flowers, magazines and candy, bestowed upon her by the Phi Sigma Tau, who had risen before daybreak in order to be in time to see her off.

She had purposely chosen an early train, as she wished to arrive in New York before the darkness of the winter evening closed in.
Mr.Southard and his sister were to meet her at the Jersey station, but careful little soul that she was, Anne decided that in case anything unforeseen arose to prevent their coming, she would have less difficulty in finding her way about in daylight.
"Take good care of yourself, Anne," commanded Nora, patting Anne on the shoulder.
"You do the same," replied Anne.

"Don't forget that theatre party, either." "We'll be there," Grace assured her, as she followed Anne up the aisle with her suit case.
