"Dorothy's the singer."
"Oh, I couldn't sing all alone," objected Dorothy shrinkingly. "But Mother said she'd drill a chorus of children and I wouldn't mind doing the solo part with a lot of others on the stage with me."
"How about a chorus in costume?" asked Helen.
"What kind of costume?"
"Oh, I don't know—something historical, perhaps."
"Why not the peasant costumes of the countries in the war?" suggested Ethel Blue. "We're working for the children and we'll have a child or two from each country."
"A sort of illustration of Helen's speech," said Tom.
"They might sing either the national songs of their countries or children's songs," said Dorothy.
"Or both, with you dressed as Columbia and singing the Star Spangled Banner at the end."
"La, la! Fine!" commended Margaret. "Put down Number 2, Helen, 'Songs by War Orphans.' We can work out the details later, or leave them to Dorothy and her mother."
