So I shall settle it in accordance with the policy of 'The Merry Hearts.' Whoever likes Betty's idea can act upon it. The rest needn't. Only I want to say this," went on Mary quickly. "I've found out lately that you can have plenty of fun when you're doing things for other people. I never used to think so, but there was the Student's Aid Fair last year, for instance. I never had more fun out of anything, and yet it helped a lot of girls to stay in college. I think it would be fine for 'The Merry Hearts' to get up something like that this year, don't you?"
