CHAPTER X
The dancing school at Selikoff's
ummer camp was 70 open on Mon
day morning. True to his promise.
Harry Ford came in his rafting,
sign-bedecked little car to take Bet
ty to the school on Sunday after
noon.
She felt embarrassed before he
came, remembering the two kisses
he had given her the last night she
had been out with him; but she was
first surprised. then piqued. that he
made no reference 70 the occurrence.
Perhaps the kisses had meant lit
tie to him. although they meant
much to her. She determined to
take her cue from him. They chatted
OF immsterisl things all the twenty
five miles to the school. As he
drove through the gate he put his
hand on the button Of the raucous-
voiced horn of the little car and kept
il there till they pulled up in front
of the main building.
Girls rushed out pell nell like
bees out Of a disturbed hive, hesi-
tatinF when they realized that the
car brought a newcomer 20 the
school. instead Of a pupil who had
been with them in the winter.
Selikoff followed them in q more
dignified way and greeted Betty with
her charming smile.
Welcome, Betty. Is Disturbing
Element here a friend of yours!'
She indicated Harry as she spoke.

Her smile robbed the speech OF any
unkindness. She turned to Betty.

He backed his car out Of the gate
and disappeared. Betty saw he had
made n good impression, for the
group Of girls watched him out of
sight with every face smiling.
Selikoff had called Betty by her
first name when she arrived, and
now introduced her to the ether
girls, using their first names only.

A plump little blonde girl picked
up Betty's bag against her protest
and took her into the second largest
building. the dornotory where the
girls slept
On enc side 81 the room was n

was a dresser with mirror ard chair.
