"I have determined only one thing definitely," said Polly Oliver; "and that is, the boarders must go. Oh, how charming that sounds! I 've been thinking it ever since I was old enough to think, but I never cast it in such an attractive, decisive form before. 'The Boarders Must Go! ' To a California girl it is every bit as inspiring as 'The Chinese Must Go.

"The Chinese never did go," said Mrs. Oliver suggestively, from the sofa.
