"Won't it be heavenly?" said Ruth, equally enthusiastic.
"It will be different from our Thanksgiving party, for at least it is spring—and I love spring," said Grace Olcott.
"You're the one that loved winter, too," said Clara.
"Well, I did," replied Grace, not a whit abashed, "I like them all as they come."
"If we have half as good a time," said Irma, "I'll be satisfied."
Letty and Mary Lee said nothing. The memory of that Thanksgiving party when Letty had tried to make trouble for Mary Lee was not a pleasant one for Letty. Mary Lee also thought of it. She looked at Letty into whose eyes tears began to well.
"It's all right," whispered Mary Lee, as she put her hand over Letty's, but in a way that the other people could not see. "We're good friends now. Let's forget all of that."
Letty forced back her tears and gave her friend's hand a loving pat.
"Of course," said Aunt Madge, "you will have to receive the necessary permission both at school and at home. I hope you will be successful."
"Now, girls," Mrs. Anderson continued, "let's make no plans for our party and instead talk of what we can do in the way of making folks buy more Liberty Bonds. You see, we want to sell more among the people who would buy but a few shares."
