Anne looked distressed, Miriam was frowning, while Elfreda glowered savagely.
"Don't mind what she says," soothed Mabel.

"She feels awfully cross this afternoon because she has met with a disappointment.

She has an invitation to a Pi Kappa Gamma dance and she has been refused permission to go.

Result, she is in a raging, tearing humor." "But I thought one could always go to a fraternity dance if properly chaperoned," remarked Grace innocently.
"One can," mimicked Mabel, "if one doesn't ask permission to go too often, and if one has no conditions to work off.

Now, you see why Mistress Beatrice is obliged to languish at home while the man who invited her will no doubt have to invite some other girl, who is lucky enough to have no conditions." "Isn't it rather early in the year to be conditioned ?" asked Miriam.
"Yes, but Beatrice has been cutting classes ever since she came back this year," confided Mabel.
