CHAPTER XV.
PLANNING AND WISHING.
“Mrs. Anna Oldham, the famous suffragette, will speak in the gymnasium on Saturday afternoon, at four o’clock, on ‘Woman’s Suffrage.’ All those interested in this subject are invited to be present.”
Molly and Judy, with a crowd of friends, on the way from one classroom to another one busy Friday had paused in front of the bulletin board in the main corridor.
“Mrs. Anna Oldham?” they repeated, trying to remember where they had heard the name before.
“Why, Judy,” whispered Molly, “that must be Nance’s mother. Do you—do you suppose Nance knows?”
“If she does, she has never mentioned it. You know she never tells anything. She’s a perfect clam. But this, somehow, is different.”
Both girls thought of their own mothers immediately. Surely they would have shouted aloud such news as Nance had.
“Shall we mention it to her, or do you think we’d better wait and let her introduce the subject?” asked Molly.
