CHAPTER 15
Washington Calling!
DURING the next few days the Brownies were busier than ever before in the history of their troop.
With the aid of their fathers and mothers, they built a booth which was set up on the public square.
The girls then decorated it with colored crepe paper, and put up posters so that everyone would know about the Rosedale Troop quilt display.

From neighbors and acquaintances, the girls obtained the promise of many beautiful quilts for the show.
