The little girl's voice reminded her of Nora O'Malley's, and Nora's singing had always been a source of delight to Anne.
"Not now," smiled the singer.

"I wish to talk, but I'll sing for you later." "We came over this afternoon," said Grace to the girl sitting next to her, "to find out who Morton House wants for president.

We would like to have Miss Wells----" Grace was interrupted by a little cry of delight.

The girl sprang to her feet and cried, "Hear! hear!" Then she took Grace by the shoulders and laughingly commanded, "Arise, occupy the center of the room and tell the girls what you have just told me." Before she knew it Grace was standing in the middle of the room, earnestly advocating Gertrude Wells's cause, while the Morton House girls were making as much demonstration as was considered decorous on Sunday.

Grace concluded with, "I'm quite sure that every girl at Morton House will vote for Miss Wells and every freshman at Wayne Hall, too.
Before class meeting next Friday I hope to be able to convince the majority of 19---- that they will make no mistake in voting for Miss Wells." Grace sat down amid subdued applause, and every one began talking to her neighbor about the coming election.
