"Oh, of course I'll work hard," said Sally May happily. "I simply love to draw."
"What are you going to be, Judy?"
"I'm not sure," said Judith slowly, "but I think I'd like to be a teacher."
"A teacher?" chorused the other two in surprise. "Why, Judy, what a funny idea!" said Sally May.
"I don't see why it's funny," Judith objected. "I think it would be splendid to be like Miss Marlowe or head of a school like Miss Meredith."
"Well, you'll never get married if you are a teacher," said Sally May with finality; "at any rate, not for ages and ages."
"Why not?" said Judy.
This was a poser.
"W-e-l-l—you'd have to learn so much, you see."
Judith laughed. "I hadn't thought of that, but I thought you were going to be an artist," she added teasingly.
