"It was mean of the Seniors to stick to all the properties of the other Guilds! They might have given us something," put in Norah Bell.
"Trust them! They wouldn't part with so much as a twopenny music sheet!" said Gipsy. "But about the Magazine; it needn't cost us anything. My idea was to ask Miss White to lend us the duplicator, and we'd make a copy for each Form. They could be lent round and round. If we liked we might put in a few illustrations. You're good at drawing, Fiona."
"That certainly sounds more simple," said Dilys. "And the Mag. would be ripping fun. We'd have articles and poetry and stories and reviews and all sorts of things."
"Would it be a monthly?" enquired Hetty.
"I should say about twice a term would be enough," said Gipsy. "It would be difficult to get contributions if you had it too often."
"We couldn't duplicate the illustrations," objected Fiona, whose mind was already turned to things artistic.
"No; each Form would have to provide its own pictures for its own copy. That would make it all the more interesting. There'd be no two quite alike."
"And we could even have advertisements, and a kind of Exchange and Mart!" exclaimed Dilys, who was immensely taken with the idea. "It would just suit the First and Second; they're always trading white mice or silkworms with one another."
"We'll add a Beauty Bureau, with hints about the complexion, if you like," suggested Gipsy demurely.
The others laughed, for Dilys was rather vain of her appearance, and kept many bottles of toilet requisites upon her portion of the dressing-table.
