"You see how easy that is," said Miss Betty. "That's all the receipts to-day. But, Mildred, if you and Jack, and Brownie will all come to luncheon next Saturday, I'll have something else made out of strawberries for you."
"Oh, Miss Betty!" cried Mildred, rapturously, "we'll come—indeed we will!"
"Very well; and tell Jack he can have three helpings of everything!"
CHAPTER VII
STRAWBERRY TIME
Early in the morning of the next Saturday came a note from Miss Betty, which said:
Dear Mildred and Dear Brownie:
Just to think that I forgot to tell you I wanted you both to help me cook the luncheon for our party! Do come over at about eleven, and bring your aprons. And please tell Jack that if he wants to come and help too, I'll find him something perfectly proper for a boy to do.
Your Loving Betty.
