After her summer on Cape Cod, described in “Elizabeth, her folks,” Elizabeth comes back to New York to live in a brand new apartment. She and her chum Jean decide to keep a diary, and many of her hopes and aspirations are poured into it. She has a busy winter, for Buddy, her big brother, gets married to Ruth Farraday, her friend Peggy’s sister, and of course the wedding keeps her busy and excited. Then there is the mystery in Jean’s household in which she plays an important part. And she has good times with other friends, boys as well as girls, and learns many valuable lessons about friendliness and comradeship.
