's. "But," said Cecily timidly, "that will leave out Peter and the Story Girl and Sara Ray, just as if they didn't have a share in it. I don't think that would be fair." "You name it then, Cecily," I suggested. "Oh!" Cecily threw a deprecating glance at the Story Girl and Felicity. Then, meeting the contempt in the latter's gaze, she raised her head with unusual spirit. "I think it would be nice just to call it Our Magazine," she said. "Then we'd all feel as if we had a share in it." "Our Magazine it will be, then," I said. "And as for having a share in it, you bet we'll all have a share in it. If I'm to be editor you'll all have to be sub-editors, and have charge of a department." "Oh, I couldn't," protested Cecily. "You must," I said inexorably. "'England expects everyone to do his duty.' That's our motto--only we'll put Prince Edward Island in place of England. There must be no shirking. Now, what departments will we have? We must make it as much like a real newspaper as we can." "Well, we ought to have an etiquette department, then," said Felicity. "The Family Guide has one." "Of course we'll have one," I said, "and Dan will edit it." "Dan!" exclaimed Felicity, who had fondly expected to be asked to edit it herself. "I can run an etiquette column as well as that idiot in the Family Guide, anyhow," said Dan defiantly. "But you can't have an etiquette department unless questions are asked. What am I to do if nobody asks any?" "You must make some up," said the Story Girl. "Uncle Roger says that is what the Family Guide man does. He says it is impossible that there can be as many hopeless fools in the world as that column would stand for otherwise." "We want you to edit the household department, Felicity," I said, seeing a cloud lowering on that fair lady's brow. "Nobody can do that as well as you. Felix will edit the jokes and the Information Bureau, and Cecily must be fashion editor. Yes, you must, Sis. It's easy as wink. And the Story Girl will attend to the personals. They're very important. Anyone can contribute a personal, but the Story Girl is to see there are some in every issue, even if she has to make them up, like Dan with the etiquette." "Bev will run the scrap book department, besides the editorials," said the Story Girl, seeing that I was too modest to say it myself. "Aren't you going to have a story page?" asked Peter. "We will, if you'll be fiction and poetry editor,"
