“And the Brownies,” added Connie with a laugh. “Or will we help too?”
“I have not agreed to let the organization take part,” Miss Gordon said. “I feel we should help Mrs. Langley, but I am opposed to assisting Mr. Piff in his commercial scheme. Somehow, I do not trust him.”
“It would be fun though, to sell things in the show,” Rosemary Fritche remarked wistfully. “Those tussie-mussie bouquets perhaps.”
“Maybe we could have a Brownie booth,” Jane Tuttle proposed. “We could wear fancy costumes.”
“Dutch dresses and wooden shoes!” cried Vevi. “Maybe Hanny could help us make our costumes!”
“Not so fast, children!” laughed Miss Gordon. “You’re miles ahead of me. I don’t mind if the Brownies have a booth at the regular garden show, but anything we sell must be for charity.”
“May we have a booth?” Connie asked eagerly.
Miss Gordon said she would talk the matter over with Mrs. Langley. She agreed with Vevi that if they did decide to help, it would be nice for the Brownies to wear colorful Dutch costumes.
“Hanny probably can tell us where to get wooden shoes!” Vevi exclaimed. “When will she come to our Brownie meetings?”
“Has anyone given her a definite invitation?” inquired the teacher.
