turn took her share in the lesson so
well that the German wondered if it
was not all a dream: Eel Molly
plodded through her part with surpris-
ingly few faults, showing an eager in
terest in the language she hated"
What had come over the class! "Wun-
derbar,,' muttered Fraulein Mann to
herself. No whispers. no haif-sup-
pressed laughter. no surreptitious notes
passed from hand to hand, Her eXpla-
nations of difficult points were listened
to attentively; intelligent questions
were asked; Fraulein found it easy to
speak to these interested girls, and
waxed eloquent, so that the class, in
turn, were surprised to find how much
more enjoyable than usual the lesson
was. Just once, Jenny Noyes. catch
ing Rosamund's eve, smiled and winked
ex pressively, but hat damsel met her
look with one of Spartan virtue. Rosa
mund never did things halfway. When
the lesson ended, the class trooped Il
in excellent order, silent until they
reached the corridor.
well, it knocked her perfectly sill
ly," said Molly. inelegantly, to Rose.
.She was afraid it was all a blind.
though. my dear primrose" added
Jenny.
well, it made me feel pretty silly
to think how we've acted cried Rosa
mund.
We've all been April fools ourselves
before. 1 think. not to appreciate hav-
ing such a good teacher"
We'll. we've reformed. Nov, we'll
have a chance this afternoon in gram
mar, and Rose. dear. how can l take
her out in that atrocious bonnet
That class in German grammar was
a model of decorum. They knew the
lesson to q girl. They asked questions
that showed real interest. Molly sur
prised everyone, herself included. BY
her correct rendering of German SEN
fences from the English. Fraulein
tried as never before to make the hour
an interesting one. Molly fingered
after the rest. She colored wildly as
she approached her teachers desk.
Its such a lovely day, Fraulein
Mann--she did not say ..Frowleen'
as she usua lily did-"wouldn't you go
for a drive at four! My horse is gem
tie, and you-you haven't driven with
me at all"
The little German was quite as en-
barrassed as her would-be hostess. and
a faint color crept up in her faded face
as she accepted this surprising invita-
ton. She blew her nose vigorously as
Molly went out
"Ach. eef they'd be so gut always"
she thought, Il could bear it better
away from mein liebling."
The drive was a great success. Molly
enjoyed it as much as her guest. for
Fraulein talked of her life in Germany
in such an interesting way that the
girl ven forgot the '.atrocious' GRIM
son bonnet with its nodding pink
feather.
Gould this be that bosses madcben.
traulein Matthews?' thought the
teacher.
1t doesn't seem as if this was that
stupid little Mann" unused Molly, al
most at the same moment
But there was still another surprise
in store for the little woman, who.
with cheeks flushed by the soft spring
air, mounted the steps of Miss Doug
las school," after her airing.
"Fraulein Mann" said Rose, meet
ing her in the hall. I've got some
tickets for the Philharmonic this even
ing. Miss Douglas goes with Us, you
know. but I've an extra ticket; they
are going to play the Seventh Sym
phony, and-would you care to goo"
"Ach, Frauleiu Torp, ich danke in
men; it would give me much play
shure."
