Love to you and Elfreda, Miriam and Anne.
"Yours, as ever, "MABEL.
"P.

S .-- I saw Frances last week.

She is engaged to be married.

More about her when I see you." "Doesn't it sound exactly as she talks ?" smiled Anne.
"I like the Thanksgiving idea," declared Elfreda.
"Of course, we'll go," said Grace, looking questioningly at her friends.
"Of course," repeated Miriam.

"But what of Miss West ?" "We might ask Patience to break the news to her," proposed Anne.
"She would be doubly angry with us and say we were afraid of her," said Elfreda.
