All that remained to be done was to tell her three friends, and consult them as to what other four girls would be eligible to membership.
Her proposition was hailed with acclamation by Anne, Nora and Jessica.
Miriam Nesbit, Marian Barber, Eva Allen and Eleanor Savell were chosen as candidates and promptly notified to report at Jessica's home the next Thursday evening for initiation.

They at once accepted the invitation and solemnly promised to be there.
"'Where are you going, my pretty maid ?'" said David Nesbit, stopping directly in front of Grace Harlowe as she hurried toward the Bright home the following Thursday evening.
Grace laughed merrily, dropped a little curtsy and recited, "I'm going to an initiation, sir, she said." "'And may I go with you, my pretty maid ?'" replied David, bowing low.
"No boys allowed there, sir, she said." "That settles it," sighed David.

"I suppose a sorority is about to come to the surface.

Am I right, and will you take me along ?" "Yes, we are going to initiate members into our new sorority, but you can't come, so you might as well be resigned to fate," retorted Grace.
"We didn't receive invitations to your fraternity initiations." "Be kind to Anne, won't you.

Tell her she has my sympathy," said David solemnly.
"Anne is a charter member, if you please," laughed Grace.
