“Miss Allen, when will the Girl Scouts meet?”
“Friday evening.”
Frances looked astonished. “How about the sorority?” she asked.
“No girl can belong to both the Girl Scouts and the sorority,” Miss Allen replied significantly. “It would take too much of her time. She must choose between them!”
Since there were no other questions, Miss Allen took her seat, and for the rest of the meal, the dining-room buzzed with the excited voices of the girls, discussing the new proposition.
After supper Ruth made her way to Marjorie’s room.
“What do you think of it?” she asked Marjorie.
“It’s wonderful!” the other girl exclaimed.
“Would you rather belong to it than ΦΑΒ?”
“I almost believe I would. It sounds so much more worth while. To tell you the truth, Ruth, aside from the excitement of being asked, it isn’t much of an honor to belong to ΦΑΒ!”
