"Well," said Letty decidedly, "I know that you and Mary Lee will be two of the bridesmaids."
"There are some things you do know, Letty," said Ruth teasingly. "Then there are other things you do not know."
"I know I am not to be one of them," remarked Mary Lee. She meant it, too. There were so many nice girls who would naturally be chosen before her. "But I am sure that Letty will be one. I just feel sure of that," she added.
"Well, there are some things you also know, but there are many things you do not," answered Ruth trying hard to be evasive.
Mary Lee and Letty sprang up to encircle Ruth and compel her to give them the news, but the latter was just as quick in escaping them. Mary Lee, however, soon caught her and held her so that she could not move.
"Now, will you tell?" asked Letty.
"I was dying to tell all the time," replied Ruth laughingly.
"The bridesmaids will be—" and she paused. "I think I have forgotten." Mischief was still in her eyes.
Letty pretended to be very threatening, while Mary Lee took a firmer hold.
"Oh, yes," continued Ruth, "now I remember. They are to be Edith—and, of course, you sillies, we are the other three."
