"Yes; and I have a new star," said Cora quickly. "Who ever do you imagine she can be?"
"I know," declared Bess. "She is Paul's sister."
"Who told you?" demanded Cora.
"Not a soul," Bess assured her; "but I saw you out in your car with her this morning. Isn't she nice."
"Very. But being nice is not her strongest point. She is—brainy."
"O-h-h-h!" sighed Bess. "Then let's not take her up. Belle has brains enough for one town."
"But Hazel isn't that kind. Isn't that a pretty name?" demanded Cora quickly. "She has a different sort of brains. She is a student of nature—biology and evolution, to be exact."
"Perhaps she could tell what makes Bess so—so fat," suggested Belle with marked sarcasm.
"Or what makes you so thin," retaliated Bess.
"At any rate, she is a very sweet girl," declared Cora, "and I'm most anxious for you to meet her. At the same time I am afraid you will like her a lot better than you do me."
