“Chump Mark for Jenny!” laughed Elena.
“Humph! Slang is imperative under such exciting conditions!” replied Zan, glancing sympathetically at Jane.
“Never mind that talk—wasting good time—hurry up and compose an answer to the doctor’s letter!” cried Hilda.
“I’ll take it home and hand it to Dad to save time,” added Zan.
“I suppose Elizabeth will go with us—shall I telephone Mrs. Remington and find out?” asked the Guide.
“If Fiji and Bob and Jack Hubert are going—as I s’pose they are—we ought to invite Fred and Billy Remington, too,” suggested Zan.
“I think your mother has already attended to that. We will find out,” and Miss Miller took up the receiver.

“Now that’s settled we can say ‘yes’ to the invitation,” said Jane, impatiently.
It took but a few moments to write the note to Dr. Baker and then the girls chattered excitedly again.
