"Let's go!" proposed Alice. "Will you take me, Paul?"
"Of course I will."
"May I have the pleasure?" asked Russ, of Ruth.
"Why, yes, if the rest go."
"We'll all go!" chimed in Miss Dixon. "Some of the extra men are good dancers. They proved it in the ballroom scene the other day. We can get a man, Pearl."
"All right, my dear, just as you say."
The little party was soon arranged.
"Estelle might like to go," suggested Alice.
"I'll go to ask her," offered Ruth, for Miss Brown had quit the supper table early and gone to her room.
As Ruth mounted the stairs she heard Miss Dixon and Miss Pennington talking in the hall outside their rooms.
