CHAPTER II
POPCORN GOODIES
Betsey was glad when mother decided on "Popcorn Goodies," for she found it such splendid fun popping the corn.
How Betsey loved to watch the kernels burst into the pretty white snowflakes!
Her first attempt was just plain hot buttered popcorn.
Mother was busily explaining this recipe to Betsey when Dorothy, Betsey's dearest friend, came over to spend the afternoon. Mother invited the little guest to share the fun of popping the corn, and on observing how well the little girls worked together then and there gave Dorothy a standing invitation to join in the candy-making whenever she could find the time, and, you may be sure, the invitation was eagerly accepted.
