Elfreda had come to grief through reporting the two mischievous sophomores to the registrar.
"About telling the registrar," faltered Elfreda, unrolling her handkerchief from the ball into which she had rolled it and wiping her eyes.
"I'm so sorry," Grace said with quick sympathy.
"You're not half so sorry as I am," was the tearful retort.

"I'll write to Pa and Ma that I want to go home next week.

They'll make a fuss, but they'll send for me." "Are your father and mother very anxious that you should stay here ?" asked Miriam.
"A good deal more anxious than I am," responded Elfreda.

"Ma picked out Overton for me long before I left high school.

She thinks it the only college going and so does Pa." "Then, of course, they will be disappointed if you go home without even trying to like college." "I can't help that," whined Elfreda.
