Up Vesuvius On a certain day towards the end of March, Miss Morley, who usually acted as cicerone and general guide, arranged to take a select little party up Vesuvius.

Irene, Lorna, Peachy, and Delia were among the favored few, and congratulated themselves exceedingly.

It is certainly not an every-day occurrence for schoolgirls to view a volcano, and this particular excursion, being long and difficult, was kept as a special treat, and was regarded as the titbit of the various expeditions from the Villa Camellia.

Many of the girls had, of course, made it on former occasions, but to those whom Miss Morley was escorting to-day it was all new.
"I was to have gone last autumn," confided Peachy, "but the fact is I got into a little fix with Miss Rodgers, and she started on the rampage and canceled my exeat.
