I know what I am talking about because I used to be just as ridiculous as she is, and knowing what you suffered through me, I can't bear to see you unhappy again over some one who is too trivial to be taken seriously." "You're a dear, Miriam!" exclaimed Nora impulsively.
It was the first time that the once haughty Miriam had ever referred publicly to past shortcomings, although from the time she and Grace had settled their difficulties at the close of the sophomore year, she had been a changed girl.
"Where are Anne and Jessica to-day ?" asked Eva Allen.
"Anne and Jessica have refused point blank to honor us with their presence during practice," announced Nora.

"I asked Jessica to-day, and she said that they didn't want to know how we intended to play, for then they could wax enthusiastic and make a great deal more noise.

It is their ambition to become loud and loyal fans." "What a worthy ambition," said Marian Barber, with a giggle.

"They are such noisy creatures already." There was more laughing at this, as Anne and Jessica were by far the quietest members of the sorority.
"Remember, we practise to-morrow after school," called Grace as she separated from her team at her street.
As she walked slowly down the quiet street, deep in thought, her ear caught the sound of an approaching automobile, and she looked up just in time to see Eleanor drive by in her machine.

Grace nodded to her, but her salutation met with a chilly stare.
"How childish she is," thought Grace.
