CHAPTER \
The dancing school at Seliknffs
summer camp was 20 open on Mon
day morning. True TO his promise,
Harry Ford came in his rafting,
| sign-hedecksd little car TO take Bet
~ to the school on Sunday after
noon.
She felt embarrassed before be
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. hat he
made no reference 10 the occurrence.
Perhaps the kisses had meant lit
tie 10 him, although they meant
much TO her. She determined 10
take her cue from him. They chattsd
OF imn1sterial 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, hest
tating when they realized that the
car brought a newcomer 70 the
school, instead of a pupil who had
been with them in the winter.
Selikoff followed them in a more
! dignified way and greeted Betty with
her charming smile.

Her smile robbed the speech Of any
unkindness. She turned to Betty.
Last summer that boy wanted TO be
the pet turtle Of our bathing pool.

Ladies, meeting me is a pleasure
not denied but deferred. Betty,
Selikoff il a good woman. and good
women are always d~issgreeahle.
Farewell for the nonce. whatever
that is"
He backed his car out Of the gate
and disappeared. Betty saw he had
made a 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 other
girls. using their first names only.

her where to take her things"
A plump little blonde girl picked
up Betty's bag against her protest
and took her into the second largest
building. the ~dormotory where the
girls slept.

was q dresser with mirror n chair.
