H Y A K 5 The Twins Predicament Twins were old enough to know better, and, as someone M remarked, “They should have had more sense.” But it was very near the end of their first year at boarding school and such excitement can only be imagined. The June Ball was just three days off! Some people always seem to leave everything until the last minute and then expect some special interposition of Providence to bring them out all right. So it was with the Twins. Their dresses for the ball had been sent to them from home two weeks ago, and they had tried them on over and over again for their admiring friends. Friday evening Martha left the dance in the gym. early, and a freshman admirer followed her up to her room.

But their faces lengthened piteously when they heard Miss Ellis’s report. No hose of any description — silk, lisle or cotton — that could be imagined to harmonize could be found. Then Louise, always brimful of ideas, suggested. “Why don’t you dye some to match T It’s easy. My mother often does it.” The twins were desperate enough for anything. As soon as break-
