"
"Madam President, I move that Ethel Brown be appointed a committee of
one to see our Teutonic friends and work up their sympathies over the
women and children we want to help so that they just can't resist
helping too. Is your eloquence equal to that strain, Ethel?"
Ethel thought it was, and promised to go the very next afternoon. The
discussion turned to the next step to take.
"Grandfather's superintendent is going to move into the new cottage
next week," was Roger's news, "so then we can go over the old house and
see how it is arranged and decide how we'd like to change it."
"And also find out just what furniture is left and draw up a list of
what furniture we shall need."
"Had we better appoint committees for making the different
investigations?" inquired Tom, who was accustomed to the methods of a
city church.
"Later, perhaps," decided Helen. "At first I think we all want to know
the whole situation and then we can make our plans to fit, and special
people can volunteer for special work if we think it can be done best
that way."
"It's a great old plan you have there, Roger," cried Tom, thumping his
friend affectionately on the shoulder.
