CHAPTER IV
PLANS
The work of the carpenters filled in very acceptably the time when the members of the Club were toiling at school.
A visit of inspection toward the end of June gave the onlookers the greatest satisfaction.
"Everything is as fine as a fiddle!" exclaimed Roger as they all stopped in one of the upstairs rooms. "Now it's up to us to do the papering and painting and to concoct some furniture."
So it was decided that all the bedrooms should have white paint and walls of delicate hues and that Mrs. Schuler's office should be pink with white paint and white curtains at the windows.
"We can get very pretty papers for ten cents a roll," said Margaret. "I saw some beauties when I went to the paperers to get some flowery papers for James to cut out when he was pasting decorations on to our Christmas Ship boxes."
"Are you going to use wall paper?" asked Miss Merriam quickly.
"Aren't we?" inquired Margaret. "It didn't occur to me that there was anything else. There is paper on the walls now."
"It's a lot more sanitary to have the walls kalsomined, I know that," said James in a superior tone. "Haven't you heard Father say so a dozen times?"
