HE two girls giggled and talked on. Susie made no move, no sound, until the girls had gone. She sat still, suffering, crying out at the fates, hating the fates, hating her"self for a witless fool. And above all she hated the Delta Phis. Susie had heard of pledge stunts, buy she had heard of nothing like is. Sitting there Susie touched the absolute depths of despair. She actually [thought of the river, of the little gas plate in her room. ® Susie had never been happy, she had come to expect little of life. Until Dick Tremaine grinned at her and made his polite little bow she had been mildly content. Now all that was changed., For the first time in her life Susie faced deliberate, hideous unkindness.
