"The club will be bankrupt from the start," laughed Miss Crilly.
"What do we need a treasurer for?"
"Oh, they always have one!" insisted Polly. "Maybe the money'll come."
"Sure! Somebody might donate a million dollars to us—and what should we do without anybody to take care of it!" Miss Crilly chuckled happily.

"Oh, we must adjourn!" declared Miss Major. "That is the principal event of most business meetings."
Accordingly, with much giggling from a few of the members, the new club voted to adjourn until the next Monday.
"Oh, dear! it's raining hard!" cried Polly. "I thought maybe we could go for a little walk, just to mark the day."
"Can't we do something here—have some game or other?" suggested
Miss Crilly.
"I say!" burst out David, "I forgot! Mother told me to be at home by half-past three, and it's almost that now. Will you come, Leonora, or wait for the shower to be over?"
