appeared as members of the famous sorority, the "Phi Sigma Tau,"
organized by Grace for the purpose of helping needy High School
girls.

In that volume Eleanor Savell, the self-willed, temperamental
daughter of an Italian violin virtuoso, furnished much of the
interest of the book. The efforts of Grace and her chums to create
in this girl a healthy, wholesome enjoyment for High School life,
and her repudiation of their friendship, and subsequent attempts
to revenge herself for fancied slights and insults, served to make
the story absorbing.

The walking expedition through Upton Wood, the rescue of Mabel
Allison, an orphan, by the Phi Sigma Tau, from the tender mercies
of a cruel and ignorant woman with whom she lived, proved
interesting reading.

The class play in which Eleanor plotted to oust Anne Pierson, the
star, from the production and obtain the leading part for herself,
the discovery of the plot at the eleventh hour by Grace, enabling
her to balk Eleanor's scheme, were among the incidents that
aroused anew the admiration of the reader for capable, wide-awake
Grace Harlowe.

The seven young people on the platform looked unusually solemn,
and a brief silence followed Grace's wistful question. Saying
good-bye threatened to be a harder task than any of them had
imagined it to be. Even Hippy, usually ready of speech, wore a
look of concern decidedly out of place on his fat, good-humored
face.
