Jolly idea, isn’t it?” “Why what is the matter, Jeanette? Didn’t you see that notice on the bulletin-board in the corridor?” “No, Jack, I guess the thought of our Algebra exam tomorrow has queered me a bit. My head seems sort of wooden today, and I’ve visions of failing, for you know, Mathematics is my weak point.” The boy and girl were walking home together. Jack Dawson, as usual, carried Jeanette Blake’s books with his own. “Do tell me about this competition, truly I can’t wait until tomorrow morning!'’ “No wonder you haven’t the knack for Mathematics. It all runs to Ait with you. No one else in our grade can touch you at all in that line. Well, it said on the bulletin-board that all the Home and School Associations in Dorchester had united in offering a prize to all eighth grade pupils for the best Xmas card design. The idea may be sacred, or otherwise—anything appropriate to the season, but it must be wholly original. It must be submitted by November the fifth and joint committee of teachers and parents will act as judges. The prize is ten dollars and the sketches are all to be colored. Now, I guess I’ve given you every detail, Jeanette.” His companion drew a long breath: “What nice presents I could give with that money, if I won it!” “Of course you’ll get that prize!” he said. “You’ll try to, won’t you?” “No, I guess not. If it were a pen and ink sketch now, there might be some hope. But in the color line, you see, I'm pretty hopeless. But for you it’s clear sailing. Just go right in and win! Here are your books. I’m off for a game of football.” Jeanette went slowly up stairs. For a moment the hideous nightmare of the Algebra exam had ceased to haunt her. A dawning vision of success threw its rose-colored light about her pathway. Though not conceited, she could not help realizing that her ability was unusual. She came indeed, of a family of artists. Her father, it is true, was only a designer of wall papers, but his eldest brother, who had died twenty years before, would probably, had he lived, have become a noted painter. The walls of the Blake home were covered with Uncle Don’s pictures, and the children had been brought up to revere his memory. One
