We can discuss that privatly." I
then rang off.
I am terrably worried, because my father is my best friend,
having always understood me. I cannot endure to think that he is
in danger. Alas, how true are the words of Dryden:
_"War, he sung, is Toil and Trouble_,
_Honour but an empty Bubble_."
NOON: Jane came over as soon as she had had her breakfast,
and it was a good thing I had everything written out, because
she started in right away to run things. She wanted a
Constitution and By-Laws as I had expected. But I was ready for
her.
"We have a Constitution, Jane," I said, solemnly. "The
Constitution of the United States, and if it is good enough for
a whole Country I darsay it is good enough for us. As for
By-laws, we can make them as we need them, which is the way laws
ought to be made anyhow."
We then made a list, Jane calling up as I got the numbers
in the telephone book. Everybody accepted, although Betty
Anderson objected to the orange tie because she has red hair,
and one of the Robinson twins could not get ten dollars because
she was on probation at School and her Familey very cold with
her.
