AN INTERRUPTED STUDY HOUR The first two weeks at Overton glided by with amazing swiftness.

There was so much to be done in the way of arranging one's recitations, buying or renting one's books and accustoming one's self to the routine of college life that Grace and her friends could scarcely spare the time to write their home letters.

There were twenty-four girls at Wayne Hall.
With the exception of four sophomores the house was given up to freshmen.

Grace thought them all delightful, and in her whole-souled, generous fashion made capital of their virtues and remained blind to their shortcomings.

There had been a number of jolly gatherings in Mrs.
Elwood's living room, at which quantities of fudge and penuchi were made and eaten and mere acquaintances became fast friends.
The week following their arrival a dance had been given in the gymnasium in honor of the freshmen.
