Though not a club of any sort, they were always invited when the Tea Club had anything special going on, and many times when it hadn't.
One afternoon the Tea Club was holding its weekly meeting at Marian's.
"Do you know," Elsie Morris was saying, "that the Babies' Hospital is in need of funds again?
Those infants are perfect gormandisers.

I don't see how they can eat so much or wear so many clothes." "Babies always wear lots of clothes," said Lillian Desmond, with an air of great wisdom.

"I've seen them; they just bundle them up in everything they can find, and then wrap more things around them." "Well, they've used up all their wrappings," said Elsie Morris, "and they want more.

I met Mrs.Greenleaf this morning in the street, and she stopped me to ask if we girls wouldn't raise some more money for them somehow." "Oh, dear!" said Florence Douglass.

"They just want us to work all the time for the old hospital; I'm tired of it." "Why, Florence!" said Patty.
