They wanted the Gym by the next Fall, and they just wanted and wished and wanted and wished until a very good man, who had more money than he needed for sundaes and hamburgers and things like that, just built a Gym around the Swimming Pool and gave it to the Man Who Says What ' s What. And that ' s all for now of the Almost-So Story, Best Beloved. PHYLLIS WILKINSON. 12

public places. They gave the money that Santa Glaus brought them for Christ- mas, and earned whatever they could by selling things to their friends and neighbors. The faculty helped too. They gave a stunt, The School at Cracker ' s Bend, ' ' and skipped around merrily as naughty little children. The Man Who Says What ' s What had a big thermometer with red mer- cury in it put up in the chapel and every time some one gave $1,000 the mercury climbed a degree and on New Year ' s Eve it reached the top and would have spilled over if the Man Who Says What ' s What hadn ' t stopped the campaign. When the girls came back after Christmas vacation they had a half holiday to celebrate. But that is another story. Best Beloved. And the faculty helped too. And now comes the Almost-So Story, about the Gym. All the time they were talking about Endowment the Man Who Says What ' s What was telling them they needed a new gymnasium too, so that their arms and legs and things could keep pace with their, satiable curiosity, which was in their heads and might topple them over when they wanted to go to the reel drama or the ten- cent store. Then, one day, this same Man Who Says What ' s What said that the girls in the school were going to have a new Gym, and that it already had one part which would go to make up its internals, for some good, kind man had given it a Swimming Pool. Then all the little would-be mermaids in the school grew very, very enthusiastic indeed, because you knew that meant. Best Beloved, that al- most the most expensive part of the Gym was a sure ' nough sure-thing, and the rest of the Gym, which would only cost several thousand dollars, would be a mere nothing to the Man Who Says What ' s What. 11
