A SEMPER FIDELIS REUNION "O frabjous day!" rejoiced Emma Dean, using her bath towel as a scarf and performing a weird dance about the room.

"I know I shall go chortling through my classes this morning in a highly undignified manner.

To think that dear old Semper Fidelis will hold forth again in the same old haunts! And the most beautiful part is that there will be no vacant chairs." Emma's delight was reflected on Grace's face.

It was the morning before Thanksgiving Day and the two young women were preparing to go to breakfast, full of happy anticipation, for the various afternoon trains were to bring to them their Semper Fidelis comrades.

It had all begun with Elfreda's and Mabel Ashe's promises to spend Thanksgiving at Harlowe House.
