"Suppose," said Miss James, "we form a Committee on Plans. There will be so much to do and so many in the school who will be anxious to join that we should have plans formed."
The girls all agreed. Besides Miss James seven girls were appointed, and Mary Lee, Letty and Ruth were three of them.
As if to help the Committee on Plans the answer from the Red Cross Committee came to Ruth the next morning.
Ruth read the letter through breathlessly, and then hurried over to meet Letty and Mary Lee before their departure for school.
The two girls were just leaving the house as Ruth turned the corner.
"Mary Lee, Letty!" she called to them excitedly and waved the letter.
Passers-by stopped and smiled at the girl and her excitement but she was heedless of the stir she was causing.
Mary Lee and Letty turned at the call and hurried to meet her.
"I've got the letter! I've got the letter!" she exclaimed.
"Will they let us do anything? What do they say? Let's sit down and read it," Letty responded with great eagerness.
