Grace Seeley was studying Greek in her tiny room that afternoon when the invitation was brought to her . It was scrupulously orthodox in appearance and form , and Grace never doubted that it was genuine , although she felt much surprised that Sidney Hill , the leader of his class and the foremost figure in all college sports and societies , should have asked her to go with him to the senior prom . But she was girlishly pleased at the prospect . She was as fond of a good time as any other girl , and she had secretly wished very much that she could go to the brilliant and much talked about senior prom . Grace was quite unaware of her own unpopularity among her class co-eds , although she thought it was very hard to get acquainted with them . Without any false pride herself , and of a frank , independent nature , it never occurred to her that the other Payzant freshies could look down on her because she was poor , or resent her presence among them because she dressed plainly . She straightway wrote a note of acceptance to Sidney Hill , and that young man naturally felt much mystified when he opened and read it in the college library next morning . `` Grace Seeley , '' he pondered . `` That 's the jolly girl with the brown eyes that I met at the philomathic the other night . She thanks me for my invitation to the senior prom , and accepts with pleasure . Why , I certainly never invited her or anyone else to go with me to the senior prom . There must be some mistake . '' Grace passed him at this moment on her way to the Latin classroom . She bowed and smiled in a friendly fashion and Sidney Hill felt decidedly uncomfortable . What was he to do ? He did not like to think of putting Miss Seeley in a false position because somebody had sent her an invitation in his name . `` I suppose it is some cad who has a spite at me that has done it , '' he reflected , `` but if so I 'll spoil his game . I 'll take Miss Seeley to the prom as if I had never intended doing anything else . She sha n't be humiliated just because there is someone at Payzant who would stoop to that sort of thing . '' So he walked up the hall with Grace and expressed his pleasure at her acceptance , and on the evening of the prom he sent her a bouquet of white carnations , whose spicy fragrance reminded her of her own little garden at home .
Grace thought it extremely nice of him , and dressed in a flutter XXXXX pleasant anticipation .
