"Wish we might be in it, eh, Ned ?" "Well, no," said Mr.Maynard, "I don't believe I care about that sort of thing myself, but I rather think the Maynard chicks will like it." "Yes, indeed," cried Marjorie, her eyes dancing at the thought; "I think it will be lovely fun, Cousin Ethel.

But can we girls push a big pushcart?
Do you mean like the grocers use ?" "There will be a few of those," said Cousin Ethel, "and in all cases where the vehicles are too heavy for the girls, there will be young men appointed to do the pushing, while the girls cajole the customers into buying.

It will not be difficult, as everybody will be waiting for you with open hearts and open purses." "It's a grand plan," said Kitty, speaking with her usual air of thoughtful deliberation.

"What shall we sell, Cousin Ethel ?" "Well, I'm undecided whether to put you two girls together, or put you each with some one else.

I'd like to put you each with another little girl, but if I do that, I will have to put Marjorie with Bertha Baker, and I know she won't like it." "Why won't she like it ?" asked Marjorie, innocently.
