HOW WE RAISED THE DEBT.
Mother was East and father had gone to the Association at
Plankington. Only _Taute_ was left to keep us straight. We had run
through the list and done most everything, except going swimming
and the pillow-fight. There were still several raw September days
to be disposed of.
Putting the play-room to rights one day, our throats just ached for
chocolate creams. We would make Taute pay so much a sight of the
play-room in apple-pie order. Taute would not be taxed, but would
like some jumping-jacks and nuns for her little Oahe girls, and we
could come by our chocolate creams honestly.
It would be hard to tell how it all came about, for one said one
thing and one another, until out of all the Babel and confusion we
decided on a fair, a real missionary fair. How our tongues wagged
while our fingers flew! How the jumping-jacks multiplied, and
the sedate little nuns came trooping forth each with prayer-book
and rosary, after whole families of pert-looking acorn dolls!
As by magic the bright bits of paper grew into kites, mats and
book-markers, and pen-wipers and pin-cushions; how could one have a
fair without them!
