DOROTHY DALE'S SCHOOL RIVALS
THE START
Dorothy's blue eyes looked out of the car window, but she saw nothing. All her faculties were bent upon thinking--thinking of something that evidently was not pleasant. Tavia fussed around in the next seat, scattering books, candy boxes, wraps, gloves and such "trifles." She finally left the things to their fate and climbed in with Dorothy.
"Now, Tavia, you know perfectly well that you are just as fond of Glenwood as I am," replied Dorothy, with something akin to a smile. "But of course, you have to get your fun out of growling. Really, I think this time you won't be able to get it out of me. I am--glum!"
"That will be the best fun ever. To have you glum! Have you been to a fortune teller, or anything like that, Doro?"
Dorothy looked harder than ever out of the window, and did not bother to reply.
Dorothy touched Tavia's hand. "There," she said, "I am not going to have any more blues. I can't manage well with them, and I have to manage you, Tavia."
"Now, have you only just discovered that? Well, all I can say is that I am glad the other girls did not get these seats. They are--ahem--so convenient!"
"But there is one vacant place just back of the young man whom you are watching," said Dorothy, teasingly.
"And there comes one of our girls," exclaimed Tavia. "I wager she flops into it."
The prediction was correct. A new girl, with very up-to-date apparel, and very flashy jewelry, had taken the vacant seat. The book she carried showed its title plainly, and was, of course, one of "the best sellers."
"Next she'll drop the book under his seat, and he'll have to speak to her in returning it," said Tavia. "Now, why didn't I think of trying that? Such a chance!"
