"I have to make the most of these brief summer vacations of mine." When dinner was announced, Dr.and Mrs.Bentley and the young people took seats at a long table reserved for their party.
It was a pleasant meal in the midst of an animated scene.
Over at another table the rah-rah boys made a good deal of noise until the head waiter went to them, uttering a few words in low tones.

After that the rah-rah youngsters quieted down considerably.
A delightful half-hour stroll on the verandas followed the dinner.
Then, like most of the guests, the Gridley young people drifted into the hotel ballroom where the musicians were playing a march.
Dick secured Mrs.Bentley for the first dance, as the doctor preferred to remain on the veranda.

Then, after the first dance, a general change of partners was made.
But the Gridley boys were too well bred to claim all the dances with their girl friends.

Laura and her friends had other acquaintances at the hotel.
