“How do you know?” asked Ruth.
“She told me.”
“Oh, I’m going in swimming before breakfast, if she’ll let me!”
Marjorie smiled. “You’ll make the team, Ruth,” she said. “But how are your lessons?”
“All right, I guess. Now would you rather belong to the Girl Scouts or ΦΑΒ, Marjorie?”
“I am resigning from ΦΑΒ on Friday, Ruth.”
“But you weren’t one of the candidates for the troop!”
“I know—but I want to help abolish the sorority.”
“Oh, Marj, you’re a peach!” exclaimed Ruth, with genuine admiration.
Friday evening came. The sorority girls had their meeting immediately after supper, and adjourned in time to see the Boy Scouts’ demonstration. The same six girls held to their resolutions to resign, and Marian Guard and Ethel Todd joined their ranks. Eight girls were left; if one more resigned, the sorority would have to dissolve.
