a chair against it to hold it in place."After a few minutes had passed and no one had come to investigate, Jo Ann breathed more freely. Just as she was complimenting herself on coming to the finishing touches of her pressing, there came a sudden knocking at the door. Jo Ann was petrified. Was it the manager? She shook her head vigorously at Peggy, who was starting to open the door.The next moment the door was rattled violently. Simultaneously the panel banged down again.From the hall there sounded a woman's shrill voice."Miss Prudence!" the girls gasped."Open the door this instant, Peg, and get her inside before someone else comes," Jo Ann ordered.The moment Miss Prudence stepped inside and saw Jo Ann perched on top of the bed, ironing, she stared in amazement. As soon as she had recovered from her first surprise, she burst out, "What does this mean? Don't you know it's against the rules to iron in your room?

Their expressions were so ridiculous that Florence and Peggy continued laughing till the tears rolled down their cheeks.After an amazed, "And to think I could've had a real iron and board for the asking!" Jo Ann began laughing equally merrily.They were all still smiling broadly several minutes later when they went down to the lobby to meet Lucile and her mother, who were waiting for them there.The dinner party turned out to be a great success, and the girls did not return to the hotel till almost eleven o'clock."It's my turn to sleep with Miss Prudence," Peggy
