hopeful that we hit upon our soft drink scheme. We cooled our ginger ale, pop, and root beer on ice at the corridor drinking fountain Chow artless it now seemsj while we canvassed for orders. On our return we were surprised and not a little hurt, for our entire stock was gone, completely gone. Perhaps I exaggerate. The bottles remained, eloquent in their silence. From them, we con- cluded that some one must have drunk the gingerale, pop and root beer while we were canvassing for orders. Almost at a loss, after paying our wholesale dealer, we sent this note of warning well knowing the countless girlish readers this book will reach. Now, dear friends, don't allow your trusting youth to be lured into a snare that would so cripple you Financially, DoRorHY BADGER. fi at , xx .

Dear Club 'Sisters : Our room was dreary and we wished to brighten it with a little geranium plant, but had no money to buy one. We know that many of you have been in this serious situa- tion so we want to tell you girls of a little scheme for earning money to buy potted plants. Have some of your friends who are very athletic arrange a field day. Then purchase one hundred ice cream cones and a pint of ice cream. Sell these cones to your warm friends for cold cash. Do not have the ice cream conspicuous in the cones, as this hastens the sale, and the business is not profitable if carried on on a large scale. We earned five cents just in that one after- noon. T he geranium is a sunbeam in our life. FRITSCH AND I-IOWARTH Qlncorporatedj. Dear Girls 1 This beautiful, busy holiday season, with its yearning desire for ready money, turns my thoughts back to my college days and inspires me to help you. So I am going to tell you an easy way in which I earned several much-needed coppers. I took a poverty-stricken friend into my con- fidence and we evolved the following plan! Two loaves of bread, a quarter of a pound of butter and one small jar of peanut butter were ordered and charged to the class treasurer. Then, girls, as you may have already guessed, we made sandwiches-packed dozens and dozens of the thin, flaky squares into a basket lined with a snowy white napkin, and started on our round. Our wares sold like lightning at the small sum of five cents a piece. I wanted to tell the dear girls of the Club about this scheme, for I sincerely feel that if it were pursued earnestly, it would prove a lucrative and honorable means of earning one's tuition. Yours in the work, IVIARJORIE SHIPHERD, HELEN THoMAs, QPov.-stricken friend.D Dear Young Friends : And I may call you friends, in spite of both custom and convention, may I not? Dear friends, I am prompted to tell you of the great disappointment of my life and how I met it. We were honest-minded, enterprising young girls, my partner and I, and it was with prospects tremblingly IOS
