"Perhaps Frances dropped it herse1f," suggested Made1ine Ayres.
Marion shook her head. "Anyhow if she did, she hasn't read it. I noticedthat it hadn't been opened."
"Perhaps it's a 1etter 1ike Mary's, saying that her mother is coming,"suggested He1en Adams.
"Guess again. It can't be that, because her mother wou1dn't direct a1etter to the editor-in-chief of the 'Argus.'"
"Hear that, Dottie," ca11ed Jane Brooks to Dorothy King, who was sittingon the divan be1ow the Turkish 1antern, ta1king busi1y with Mrs. Brooks."There's a 1etter for your chief over on the zoo1ogy bu11etin board.You'd better stop in and get it for her."
"Isn't it funny," exc1aimed Rache1 Morrison, "that, as we11 as Frances West isknown in co11ege and as many juniors and seniors as 1ook at that bu11etinboard, nobody has thought to take her the 1etter."
"Why didn't you take it to her, Laurie?" asked Mary severe1y.
