"No," said Eleanor, "it's not. I didn't go to the class 'sing' lastnight, but this noon somebody left a song sheet in my chamber. You said theychose mine, Jean."

"I exclaimed," corrected Jean, "that I thought they chose it. I was on thesong committee, but I didn't go to the meeting. From your description Ithought it must be one of those that Kate exclaimed was taken."

Eleanor held out the paper to Jean. "Whose are these?"

Jean glanced hastily down the page. "Why, I don't know," she exclaimed, "anymore than you do--except that first one to the tune of 'St. Louis.'" Shehummed a lilting measure or two. "That's our prize song all right, andwho do you think wrote it?"

"Who?" demanded Eleanor fiercely.

"That little Adams girl--the one who chambers with Betty Wales. T. Reed toldme she'd been working on it for months."
