Kathie was feeling quite distressed. She disliked to have Lottie to stand here and make remarks on every one who passed by.
"How do you make them 'ere things?" inquired a coarse but fresh young voice at her side.
Lottie tittered, and put her handkerchief to her face.
"What?" asked Kathie, in great confusion.
"These 'ere," pointing to some very pretty moss and lichen brackets.
"The moss is fastened to a piece of wood just the right shape,—like this"; and she turned the bracket round.
"Pasted on?"
"You could use paste or glue,—anything that adheres quickly."
