“You ought to see Di as the performing bear,” said Helen.
“What are you?”
“O, I’m the man that leads him around and makes him dance and lets the bear hug him and everything.”
“I’m going to run a side show,” said Lilian. “How would you like to take tickets?”
“Nothing so tame for me. I’d rather be an animal or a spangled lady.”
“Put your wits to work, all of you, and help out the committee with your brilliant ideas. We only have a few days.”
“Where are you going to have it?” asked Isabel.
“In the Gym. We’re going to charge from one cent up for the different shows and things. It’s for the Y. W., you know. So get your money changed up and you can have pink lemonade and peanuts, beside seeing the Greatest Wonders in the World! Wait till we get out our posters tomorrow. All our artists are working on the hand bills!” Cathalina’s eyes sparkled as she thought of the funny things that were being made ready, and the girls all laughed at her professional air. “And we don’t want the Collegiate girls to beat us being funny. Some of the little graders are going to be too dear!”
“What will you do if everybody wants to be an animal?”
“No danger of that. The costumes are too hard to make.”
