It doesn't seem fair that I should have had such good times when so many girls here have nothing but hard work and worry over money matters." "Who organized Semper Fidelis and who was the first person to think of our Christmas girls ?" demanded Arline.
"You are the president of the Sempers and you collected almost all the presents for our first Santa Claus venture," evaded Grace.
"Let each be wise and wear the prize, Let each divide the crown, The deeds of Harlowe and of Thayer, Are equal in renown.
Stop arguing and get to work, For that is why we're here, Don't waste your time in idle words, The dinner hour is near," improvised Patience.

"Thank you for your poetic counsel, Patience," said Grace.

"Suppose we write down the things to be done in connection with giving the dance." "Here you are." Arline opened her desk and motioned Grace to the chair before it.

"We'll suggest, and you can write." By the time the girls had finished their plans for the masquerade it was half-past six.

"Stay here for dinner," invited Arline.
Grace shook her head.
