"Oh, that will be all right," answered Sue easily.
When the children reached home, they rode up in the elevator with Henry, and Sue found her aunt in the library with Mother Brown.
"Aunt Lu," began Sue, "have you got lots of cake and jam tarts and jelly tarts in the house?"
"Why, I think Mary baked a cake to-day," Sue. "What did you ask that for?"
"And can you buy real ice-cream at a store near here, or make it?" Sue wanted to know.
"Why, yes, child, but what for?" Aunt Lu was puzzled.
"Then it's all right," Sue went on. "You're going to give a real play-party to a lot of ragged children here to-morrow afternoon. I invited them. I gave them your card. And now, please, I want a jam tart, or a piece of cake, for myself. And then we must tell Henry when the ragged children come, to let them come up in the elevator. They're little, just like me, and they never could walk up all the stairs. I hope your real play-party will be nice, Aunt Lu," and Sue, smoothing out her dress, sat down in a chair.
