"Oh, I know how to do that!" exclaimed Lola.
"How?" asked her brother.
"Get some black paper and stick it on top of the chimney."
"Maybe my mother's got some," said Ted. "I'll go and ask her."
Mrs. Martin found an old piece of wrapping paper that was almost black in color, and when this had been rumpled up and put on top of the snow chimney, where Ted fastened it with sticks, at a distance it did look as though black smoke were pouring out of the white snow house.
"Now we ought to have something to eat, and we could pretend we really lived in here," said Janet, after a bit, when they were sitting on the benches inside the house.
"You go and ask mother for something," suggested Ted. "I got the paper smoke. You go and get some cookies."
"I will," Janet promised, and she soon came running from the house with a large plate full of molasses and sugar cookies that Nora had given her.
"Um! but these are good!" cried Tom, as he munched some with the Curlytops and his sister.
"This is a fine house!" exclaimed Teddy. "I'm glad you helped us build it," he said to Tom.
