THE PICNIC

"It's a glorious day; isn't it?" questioned Grace as she walked on beside Amy.
"Yes, but not so nice that you need forget you're carrying only a box of chocolates," remarked Betty, pointedly. "Take one of these baskets."
"Oh, excuse me," apologized Grace, and she turned quickly, wincing a bit as she did so.
