midnight
Elizabeth Hobart at Exeter Hall By JEAN K. BAIRD Illustrated by R. G. VOSBURGH A spirited story of every-day boarding-school life that girls like to read . Full of good times and girlish fun . Elizabeth enters the school and loses no time in becoming one of the leading spirits . She entertains at a midnight spread , which is recklessly conducted under the very nose of the preceptress , who is `` scalped '' in order to be harmless , for every one knows she would never venture out minus her front hair ; she champions an ostracized student ; and leads in a daring plan to put to rout the Seniors ' program for class day . The Saalfield Publishing Co. , AKRON , OHIO By JAMES A. BRADEN The sub-title `` Two Boy Pioneers '' indicates the nature of this story -- that it has to do with the days when the Ohio Valley and the Northwest country were sparsely settled . Such a topic is an unfailing fund of interest to boys , especially when involving a couple of stalwart young men who leave the East to make their fortunes and to incur untold dangers .
