The old barrackiike dormitory was commandeered for storeroom space. and the girls moved to more com- modlous quarters in the new wing. where they were apportioned two to a room. In the general dlvvy. Deborah drew Angie Beckett as a roommate. and Alma and Hazel. by a special request to Miss Bliss. shared a cubicle.

The proverbial “stovepipe”, matrix oi local gossip, had many flues tri- butary to the Harvey House, and these were buzzing with rilmors that Judge Purvis was going to buy out Fred Harvey and consolidate the management and profits oi eat- ing house and Alhambra. The ques- tion was taken up in nightgown session.

“What becomes oi us girls." said Mamie Burkwalter. tenderly mas- saging her toes. "Do we go with the place?"

"Not me." declared Bella Tor-
