The fact that her father was dead and that her mother was not able to do much to heln her, had forced her to earn her own college money. At last she had gained it and was ready to start her studies at the University of Learning. as she phrased it. At the College she met and became a very close friend of Edith, Mary and Joan. whosefathers were Wealthy and could well afford to but them through the insti- tution. One evening there was a movie that Judy wished very much to see and for which she had been denying herself a fevv comforts, that she might be able to go.. That day in her Greek class, she had not been able to do some translation and she had double work to do gg., in that lesson for the next day. Judy had decided that her studies amounted to more than the movies so she told the other girls that she really could not go with them in the evening. 4 Why not, asked Mary, a tone of disappointment creep- ing into her voice. Because I failed in my Greek recitation today and T must make it up, answered fludy, her eyes swelling with tears. The other girls understood that she wished to be alone, and left the room, Wondering within themselves why such .- small things, as they termed it, could take the enjoyment out of their evening together. Within a few minutes, .Judy regained her self-control and went to her friends to explain her resolution.

'udff and slain time she The Pennsylvania Yankee 29 said, because I worked too hard to earn the money for my education. Besides, Mother - a sob- on this word- would not want me to neglect my du- ties, however small they may be. She always taught me that 'work before play' would bring me success, and I must re-main true to my mother. Here Judy stopped for breath, but swallowing hard, she went on, You know how I have planned on a good time this evening! but circumstanc- es alter cases' and I cannot go. You go and see it and tomor- row tell me all about it. I think, trying hard to smile, Hthat I will enjoy it just as much, then. The three girls were struck with aweiat this long expla- nation from Judy. They tried their best to get her to go and forget her studies for a while, persisting that it would do her good, but all to no avail. Judy had made up her mind and she would not change it. In the end, she had her way, Edith, Mary and Joan went to thetheatre while she stayed in her room to study. How slowly the evening passed! Would it never be time for the girls to return? But Judy soon forget this in her eagerness to gain a victory over Greek. ' At. about eleven o'clock, three tired girls trooped into her room, their faces downcast with disappointment. It was horrid ! announced Edith, putting the thoughts of :all three into words. You may be glad, Judy, that you didn't go. I wish I had stayed at home and studied. So do I, agreed Mary and Joan in one voice. I am glad that I did, then, said Judy, glancing up from her studying. The following morning, when the Greek professor ask- ed who could translate a cer- tain passage, Judy's hand was the only one to be raised. Very well, Miss Newland, show' us what you can do. Judy stood up and gave a perfect translation. That evening, as the four girls were gathered -in their room, Joan asked, How in the world did you ever translate that Greek, this I morning, Judy? I couldn't even start it. That is what I did last night, while you were at the theatre, answered Judy, with a happy smile of contentment. ' A. C. S. '27,
