Ann was the first to speak. HTell me,U she said, WAm I dreaming or did Mary Rogers really refuse our invitation to join the S. S. Club?n UOh, you're not dreaming,U Jane replied. UThis is just what she said, 'It's very kind of you to ask me, but I'm always busy on Saturday afternoons. 4 N NYes, and I wonder what she could possibly be doing on Saturday afternoons thst would be more important than S. S. meeting? Why, every other girl in Newton High, or the whole school, would be willing to sacrifice a nonth's allowance to belong to the nSmsrt Set,N commented Louise. nSh,N cautioned one of the White twins, HSomebody might hear you and tell the whole school thc name of our club.U UWell,H announccd Ann, Nas president of this club I feel that I have been given e personal insult and for one I don't intend to speak to Mary Rogers except when Miss Adams is around.U Louise nodded. WYes, Miss Adams doesn't spnrovc of this club anyway, and she'd be glad to see it break un.N UBut you know how Miss Adams has liked Mary since the first day she came here to school,U Jane reminded the others. Hwhat do you supnosc she does on Snturday's snywsy?H Alice sighed.

A few days later, during a rainy noon hour the nSmart Setn gathered around the radiator in the Halls Miss Adams, arriving unnoticed, came in time to hear Ann remark, nlthink every girl should have a hobby as we have. Now Jane, you sing, Alice makes scrapbooks,I play the piano, and--why, good afternoon, Miss Adams, I didn't know you were here. Miss Adams sat down quietlya nGood afternoon girls, and Iim glad to know about your so-called hobbies. I'd like to know more about them. Jane, where do you do your singing?H HWhy, just at home and at parties, Miss Adams.n HI see. Alice what so you do with the scrapbooks you make?N UI keep them, Miss Adams.H nAnd Ann, how about your piano playing?U HWell, I play at home when there's company and I was in a recital once.U f Miss Adam's face was grave. For a few minutes there was complete silence. Miss Adams's next words were a surprise to all. HGirls,H she said, HI'm going to tell you something that I think you should all know. A short time ago,.you asked Mary Rogers to join your club and she refused. Isn't that right?U They all nodded. Miss Adams began again. nThere were two reasons for her refusal. The first was, Mary felt that she didn't want to belong to a club in which the girls did nothing but serve refreshments, discuss the movie stars, and talk about girls whom they consider good enough to join their club.n During the pause that followed the girls kept their eyes to the floor. nThe other reason,N she went on, Nwns that Mary spends each Saturday afternoon at Hall's Orphanage. Speaking of hobbies, let me tell you how Mary gets the greatest enjoyment out of hers. On Saturday afternoon from one to three she gives half hour piano lessons to four orphan girls, then, from three to four Mary is busy with dancing lessons for all of the little girls, and then from four to supper time it's the big girls' lessons. Of course, many of the other girls would like lessons too, but one girl eanft do it all.n
