I never saw grown-up people do such funny things, said Hannah, in order to cover their laughter.

Do they always act this way, Catherine?

O, no, indeed. I never saw them put in a whole evening quite so foolishly before. I didn't know whether they would take the idea up or not, but Judge Arthur loves to laugh, and lately mother said they had had quite stupid commonplace meetings,--cards and talking politics and literary and musical programs,--and she wanted something entirely different. They're a lot of dears, anyway! The younger set wouldn't think of laughing so hard and being so hilarious, even the Boat Club; and you should see the formal dignified parties that the Galleghers and those girls give! They go in carriages and the dancing doesn't begin till nine, though every one has a six o'clock supper and almost goes to sleep waiting for it to be stylishly late to go. Max and Archie and Bess and Win always go, and sometimes the rest of us get in, but we hardly feel acquainted with each other when we meet in such surroundings. Polly's mother told her she ought to entertain that crowd a while ago, because she was 'indebted,' and she planned a luncheon party, and at the last minute changed her mind and got up a Boat Club picnic instead. That was the last picnic before you girls came.

I've heard so much about those jolly picnics, said Hannah,

I know. Isn't it odd that it happens so? But we'll have one the night before we go back to college. The moon will be full, and the boys have all the plans made. There! They're beginning to leave.

I never heard Catherine talk so much at once before, said Frieda lazily.

She looks beautiful to-night, too,--to boot!
