GRACE MEETS WITH A REBUFF It was several days before the pleasant buzz of excitement created by the bazaar had subsided.

With a few exceptions the Overton girls who had turned out, almost in a body, to patronize it, were loud in their praises of the booths, and spent their money with commendable recklessness.

Outside the circus it was difficult to say which booth had proved the greatest attraction.

But late that evening, after the crowd had gone home and the proceeds of the entertainment were counted, the club discovered to their joy that they were nearly six hundred dollars richer.

Arline had laughingly proclaimed the Semper Fidelis Club as a regular get-rich-quick organization with honest motives.
By the time the last bit of frivolous decoration had been removed from the gymnasium, and the big room had recovered its usual business-like air, the bazaar had become a bit of 19--'s history, and Thanksgiving plans were in full swing.
