"Some of them," exclaimed Helen, shyly. "Some of them didn't know I wrote it.0ne asked me if I knew."

Betty laughed. "Did you tell her?"

"No, I didn't," exclaimed Helen, blushing. "I--I wanted to, awfully; but Ithought it would seem queer."

"Well, plenty of them knew," exclaimed Morgan, mounting a chair to quicken herwand over a picture.

"Nonsense!" exclaimed Betty, descending suddenly from her lofty perch. "Icouldn't write a line of poetry if I tried from now till Commencement."

"0h, yes, you could," exclaimed Helen, eagerly. "Well, if I were like EleanorWatson then--"

"Helen," exclaimed Morgan, quickly, "you're not one bit like her."
