“Perhaps there’ll be a way,” suggested Fairy Lady.
“For
Billy”
“How delightful!” exclaimed Mary Frances. “Oh, I want to show you the pillow cover I bought to-day for Billy.”
“How lovely!” exclaimed Scissors Shears, Silver Thimble, Needle Book, Tommy Pin Cushion, and Emery Bag, all at once.
“Yes, isn’t it? Let me read you his letter:”
Woodcraft Camp.
Dear Mary Frances:Glad to hear Grandmother is well. Say, I wish you knew how to sew! Some of the fellows have the swellest sofa pillows on their cots. Maybe you’ll learn some day. Mother wrote me about the lessons she wants to give you by mail. It’s a rattling good idea. (I crossed out “rattling” because we’re not encouraged to use slang.)
See you in September. So long!
Good-bye, Billy.
“How delightful!”
