And the magic key? Why, it was Billy Boy's own sunny smile, to be sure.
POLLY'S NEW APRIL FOOL
"You're losing your hair ribbon, Polly," remarked the twins as their sister sat down to breakfast one first of April morning.
Polly hastily felt of her head.
"April fool! April fool! April fool!" shrieked the twins joyously, pounding on the table.
Polly glared at them. It was raining, and Polly, who hated rain, never could take a joke on a rainy day.
"You're a pair of very rude boys," she said. "Nobody but horrid, rough boys like you would ever think April Fool's any fun!" And she sulked through her breakfast without another word.
But Helen was different. Helen liked rain. Moreover, she didn't in the least mind being fooled, and she laughed just as hard as anybody when she put salt on her mush instead of sugar.
