The sole object of the club was to extend a helping hand to the young women who were making praiseworthy efforts to put themselves through college.

Arline had written her father for the promised check for five hundred dollars, which would be deposited in the bank in Gertrude Wells's name as soon as it arrived.
"I might as well tell you now that I wrote and asked Pa for a check in spite of what Grace said," confessed Elfreda rather sheepishly.
"I might as well confess that I mentioned the club idea to Mother," said Miriam.

"I didn't ask her for a check, but I wouldn't be astonished if she sent one in her next letter." "You two girls are traitors to the cause," laughed Grace.

"Perhaps you will be disappointed." "I won't," asserted Elfreda boldly.
