When Guy Traverse made his appearance he was sure of a hearty greeting, and
the weeks flew by very pleasantly until summer was ushered in, and still
there was little seeming difference in Dexie's attitude toward her father's
friend.
One evening as a number of young ladies were assembled in the pleasant
rooms of the T. and B. Society, discussing a coming convention, the
society's Vice-President, Miss Edith Wolcott, said in decided tones:
"Before this convention meets, we ought to make some new badges; these are
positively disgraceful! Will someone suggest something, or must I take the
responsibility of seeing that this society has decent and respectable
tokens of membership?"
"There can be but one opinion where the badges are concerned," said Ada
Chester, smiling, "so let us draw from the funds of the society sufficient
money to purchase the material for new ones, then we can meet somewhere and
make them up."
"Capital legislation! Now announce the place of meeting and the matter is
settled," and Frank Fenerty joined the group around the table. "Better set
the time and place of meeting without delay, for when you ladies begin to
realize the amount of work which the making of these badges involves, you
will each and all remember that you have a pressing engagement somewhere
else.
