CHAPTER XIX.
FUN AT COUSIN ETHEL'S Next morning Midget and Kitty were awake early, and found that the sunshine was fairly pouring itself in at their bay window.
"I don't believe it's time to get up," said Midget, as she smiled at Kitty across the room.
"No; Mother said she'd call us when it was time," returned Kitty, cuddling down under her rosebudded coverlet.
But just then something flew in at the open window, and landed on the floor between their two beds.
"What's that ?" cried Marjorie, startled.

And then she saw that it was a large red peony blossom.

It was immediately followed by another, and that by a branch of lilac blooms.

Then came hawthorn flowers, syringa, Rose of Sharon, roses, bluebells, and lots of other flowers, and sprays of green, until there was a perfect mound of flowers in the middle of the room, and stray blossoms fallen about everywhere.
"It's Cousin Jack, of course," cried Marjorie.

"Let's get up, Kit." The girls sprang out of bed, and throwing on their kimonas, ran and peeped out of the window, from behind the curtains.
Sure enough, Cousin Jack was standing down on the lawn, and when he saw the smiling faces, he began to chant a song to them: "Susannah and Mehitabel, come out and play! For it's a lovely, sunny, shiny day in May; And Cousin Jack is waiting here for you, So hurry up, and come along, you two!" Marjorie and Kitty could dress pretty quickly when they wanted to, so they were soon ready, and in fresh pink gingham dresses and pink hair-ribbons, they ran downstairs and out on to the lawn.
