There was a final looking over of every one, mothers and sisters saw to it that the dresses and suits of the girls and boys were all right, and Mr. Treadwell was here, there, and everywhere, back of the scenes and curtain.
"Oh, there's a terrible big crowd!" exclaimed Bunny, as he looked out at the audience through a peep-hole in the curtain.
"Then we'll make a lot of money for the Blind Home," said Sue.
"I see Uncle Bill!" cried Mart, as he, too, looked out.
"Oh, I'm so glad!" exclaimed Lucile. "Now if we could only hear from Aunt Sallie and Uncle Simon everything would be all right."
The musicians were in their places. The hall was well filled, not only with boys and girls who had come to see their chums and playmates act, but with grown folks as well.
"Are you all ready?" asked Mr. Treadwell of Bunny, Sue and the others, as the musicians finished playing the opening piece.
"Yes," answered Bunny. "I'm all ready."
"Is my hair ribbon on right?" Sue wanted to know.
"Yes, you look sweet!" said Lucile.
