The four girls had received this rapidly repeated information with varying degrees of amazement. It was Marjorie who first sprang forward and offered her hand to Edna Halstead. "It is the last word we needed to clear Constance," she asserted, joyously. "Will you go to Miss Archer with us on Monday?"
"I should be glad to do so. I never could endure that La Salle girl," was the frank response.
"We'll go together," planned Jerry. "Every one of you meet me in Miss Archer's living-room office on Monday morning before school begins."
"I must go home now," demurred Constance. "I don't wish anyone to know that I've been here."
"Not even Laurie?" asked Marjorie, slyly. "He spoke of you to-night."
Constance smiled. "You may tell him after the 'Home, Sweet Home' waltz."
"There goes the music for the ninth dance," informed Jerry, who had stepped to the door.
"Oh, gracious, I promised this dance to Hal! I can't go. I simply must hear about the pin, Connie."
"I'll tell you just one thing about it," stipulated Constance, "but the rest must wait until to-morrow, for Hal is too nice a boy to leave without a partner."
"Then tell me that one thing," begged Marjorie.
