The awful truth needed no diagram.
Every unregenerete eon who had in
vited an Emergency girl to meet him
at the station was coming to the train
with a brand new girl ou bis arm.
The meeting which followed w as amus-
ing; the girls were very frigid; the
boys very gallantly inquired if the girls
were going to the circus. Each Em
ergency gwl took the opportunity to
read over her note of invitation. Each
discovered that it was merely an in
vitation to be at the depot; nothing
was said of the circus.
The next day the Emergency L’lub
held another emergency meeting, ff
was a stormy one."^ It is said thf: by
laws were torn up and the constitu
tion burned; but the truth of the mat
ter will never be known, for while the
girls were in session rain came.
