I didn't--I was too
worn out.
"I'm having a perfectly dreadful time getting the Junior Reds started. I
succeeded in getting Betty Mead as president, and I am secretary, but
they put Jen Vickers in as treasurer and I despise her. She is the sort
of girl who calls any clever, handsome, or distinguished people she
knows slightly by their first names--behind their backs. And she is sly
and two-faced. Una doesn't mind, of course. She is willing to do
anything that comes to hand and never minds whether she has an office or
not. She is just a perfect angel, while I am only angelic in spots and
demonic in other spots. I wish Walter would take a fancy to her, but he
never seems to think about her in that way, although I heard him say
once she was like a tea rose. She is too. And she gets imposed upon,
just because she is so sweet and willing; but I don't allow people to
impose on Rilla Blythe and 'that you may tie to,' as Susan says.
"Just as I expected, Olive was determined we should have lunch served at
our meetings. We had a battle royal over it. The majority was against
eats and now the minority is sulking. Irene Howard was on the eats side
and she has been very cool to me ever since and it makes me feel
miserable. I wonder if mother and Mrs. Elliott have problems in the
Senior Society too. I suppose they have, but they just go on calmly in
spite of everything.
