"What was she doing? Just walking along?"
"She was talking to the woman who turns the switch near our school."
"Then maybe the woman would know."
"I thought of that, and if we don't see the little girl again before Christmas we might ask the woman or get some one else to do it. I know Nan would."
"Did she look very poor?" asked Jean trying to settle the doll before a table of books she had built.
"Poorer than ever, for she hadn't her Sunday clothes on."
"Maybe mother will let us give her some of our things."
"Maybe she will. I don't suppose she will have any Christmas tree, do you?"
"I don't suppose she will."
"I heard Mrs. Hoyt say that everybody does have a tree in Germany."
