“I’ll take June,” said Jeanette, who already had a pretty plan in her wise little head. “I want October,” declared Lena, her eyes twinkling as she thought of Hallowe’en possibilities. “September was represented by Diana in the bazaar I heard about,” said Martha; “I think Betty ought to be that. She’d make a lovely Diana.” “So you would, Betty!” said Constance. “Do take that.” “Very well,” agreed Betty. “What do I sell?” “Grapes,” said Lena; “but as you can’t get grapes in March, you’ll have to sell grape jelly!” “I can get hothouse grapes,” said Betty. “But this leaves only November for Martha. What can you be, Martha—a turkey?” “November isn’t much of anything,” said Martha. “It’s sort of uninteresting.” “Well,” said Constance, tossing her head; “it’s the only one left.” Betty’s eyes flashed at this, but she only said: “All right, Martha, you take November. I’ve a good idea for it; I’ll tell you afterward. Now let’s fix up the boys. What month do you want, Jack?” “Well, since you ask me, I’ll take January. I’m great on January.” “All right; and we’ll ask the other boys and let them choose. Oh, I hope they’ll all do it! Won’t it be fun?” It was fun, but it also proved to be a great deal of work. Indeed, if the grown-ups hadn’t helped them out, the young people could scarcely have carried the affair through. Grandpa Irving took a great interest in it from the beginning, and planned so many improvements and additions that the bazaar soon became a really large enterprise. It was called “The Palace of Time,” and Mr. Irving agreed to assume the character of old Father Time and preside at the bazaar. His principal aids were four ladies who represented the four seasons, and who were to wear appropriate costumes to designate Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each of these ladies presided over the three booths which belonged to her season, and thus the success of the young people’s booths was made more sure. The other boys had proved quite as pleased as Jack to take part in the affair, and all of those who were to take part, as well as many of their friends, worked hard during the few weeks of preparation. One thing Betty resolved, and that was that Martha must have an attractive booth and one that should somehow prove to be among the most popular. After she told her grandfather how the other girls felt toward Martha, Mr. Irving also declared that he, too, would look out for her. “Never you mind, Betty,” said her grandfather; “we’ll just fix it so that Martha’s booth will be crowded with people all the evening.” And so, though nobody knew exactly what Martha was going to do, it was soon known that hers would be the supper booth. Lemonade was to be served by July; ice-cream by August; flowers, of course, would be sold by May; and candy would be found in the February booth. But November being the month of Thanksgiving and plenty, it was deemed appropriate to have the more substantial refreshments on sale there.
