The ride was a rather long one and the young ladies spent the ume, as students will do, in talking about the school. about the teachers they liked and disliked, and crtticizing freely the methods in- 4 volved in the management of the schools They became so interested In the conversation that they did not no- tice that an elderly looking lady In an opposite seat appeared to be much in T terested in their conversation. When Z the car arrived at the school and the , young ladies were getting off, they were somewhat surprised when the } lady in the opposite seat remarked, Wait, girls; am going to the same place that you are" She was one of } the supervisors of the school. What happened afterwards can better be i'm agined than described. The young la dies, however have resolved to be ] rather careful in their speech on cars hereafter.
