Hilary, in a sort of ‘inaugural address,’ and then everybody has to pledge themselves to support the society,—wasn’t that what the constitution said?” “Yes. All that would have to come in the business meeting part, though an inaugural address would naturally be a part of the program.” “Put it together this time, then.” “I don’t believe we’d better have a regular program at this first meeting.” “No. Let’s not. I tell you, you go in and take your chair and we’ll all greet the new president with loud applause!” Hilary laughed. “Then somebody will go for the new members who will be waiting in some room near, and bring them in and put them in the front seats. And then is when I think you ought to explain about what the society is for and say anything else that you have in mind.” “Yes. That would be the natural time. Then the secretary would read the constitution and put the pledge to the new members.” “Have ’em all stand in a row or circle while they hear and take the pledge of allegiance!” “Too bad we haven’t pins to badge them with!” “We’ll pin our colors on them!” Hilary laughed again. “What are our colors?” “We’ll have to adopt some. I never thought of that before.” “Funny some of us didn’t!” “That will be easy. Call the ten of us together Friday afternoon,—no, because we’ll have to send for the ribbon.” “No time like the present. We can decide on the colors after dinner tonight.” “When will Cathalina have the invitations ready?” “Tomorrow. She is just fixing some tiny cards in envelopes, not much on them, inviting them to ‘become members of the Shakespearean Literary Society.’ I hope nobody will refuse.” “Well, after they are all initiated, what then?”
