to real People."

Ye gods! Over-indulged!

"Why don't you go to one?" he then asked.

"Evadently," I said, "I am not a real Person."

"Well, I wouldn't go as far as that. But there isn't much left of the
way God made a girl, by the time she's been curled and dressed and
governessed for years, is there? They can't even walk, but they talk
about helping in the War. It makes me sick!"

I now saw that I had made a mistake, and began reading a Magazine, so
he went back to his seat and we were as strangers again. As I was very
angry I again opened my window, and he got a cinder in his eye and had
to have the Porter get it out.

He got out soon after, and he had the impertinance to stop beside me and
say:

"I hate to disapoint you, but I find I have a clean coller in my bag
after all." He then smiled at me, although I gave him no encouragment
whatever, and said: "You're sitting up much better, you know. And if you
would take off those heals I'll venture to say you could WALK with any

Unaform and written out the names of ten girls who will be home when I
am. I here write out the Purpose of our organisation:

To defend the Country and put ourselves into good Physical
Condition.--Memo: Look up "physical" as it looks odd, as if mispelled.

MOTTO: To be voted on later.

PASSWORD: Plattsburg.

DUES: Ten dollars each in advance to buy Tent, etcetera.

UNAFORM: Kakhi, with orange-colored necktie. In times of danger the
orange color to be changed to something which will not atract the guns
of the Enemy.

NAME: Girls' Aviation Corps. But to be known generally as the G. A. C.
as because of Spies and so on we must be as secret as possable.

I have done everything thus in advance, because we will have but a short
time, and besides I know that if everything is not settled Jane will
want to run things, and probably insist on a set of By-Laws, etcetera,
which will take to much time.

I have al
