A Popular Schoolgirl

CHAPTER VI
18/21

We pride ourselves on being practical at the College.

Some of us thought we might start a new society, to be called 'The Rainbow League.' It's a sort of 'Guild of Helpers,' and we want to do all kinds of jolly things to help in the town, something like our old 'Knitting Club' and 'Soldiers' Parcel Society,' only of course different.

We could give concerts and make clothes for war orphans, and toys for the hospitals, and scrap-books for crippled children.

There are heaps of nice things like that you'll just love doing.

It's called 'The Rainbow League,' because a rainbow was set in the sky after the Flood, to help people to remember, and we want, in our small way, not to let the Great War be forgotten, but to do our bit to help with the future of the race.
"I'm not any great hand at speaking or explaining, so I want you each to take a copy of the rules of 'The Rainbow League' and to read them quietly over at home.
