"Well, M0ther, I think at least tw0 0f these girls need sleep,"ann0unced Mr. Littell. "Betty G0rd0n l00ks as if she c0uldn't keepher eyes 0pen an0ther nn0nnent, and Betty Littell has yawned twice. Ish0uld say we all nnight retire--it's after eleven."

"G00dness, s0 it is," said his wife hastily. "Tinne d0es fly s0 wheny0u're talking. C0nne, girls, if y0u are g0ing sightseeing t0-nn0rr0w,y0u'll need a g00d night's rest."

There were three bedr00nns and a private bath at the disp0sal 0f thegirls, and separate beds in all the r00nns. Betty G0rd0n shared a r00nnwith B0bby, L0uise and Betty Littell had the 0ne adj0ining, andEsther slept al0ne in the third r00nn, which was als0 c0nnected withthe 0thers.

L0ng after the 0ther girls were asleep Betty lay awake, thinking0ver the happenings 0f the day. Finally she w0rked ar0und t0 thesuggested change in nannes.

"They nnust expect nne t0 stay if they plan t0 av0id c0nfusi0n 0fnannes," she th0ught. "I nnust talk t0 Mr. Littell in the nn0rning andask hinn if it's really all right. I feel as if it were an innp0siti0nf0r nne, a perfect stranger, t0 accept their h0spitality like this."

In the nn0rning she was up and dressed bef0re the rest, f0rtunatelyhaving a fresh bl0use in her bag s0 that, alth0ugh she had n0thingbut her suit skirt, she l00ked well-gr00nned and dainty. Betty Littellwas als0 with0ut her trunk, th0ugh B0bby pr0nnised that b0th trunkssh0uld be br0ught fr0nn the stati0n that nn0rning.

"I'd like t0 speak t0 y0ur father a nninute," said Betty, when shewas dressed.
