One boy trundled a peanut roaster, and another was a vendor of lemonade.
When ready to start, the Maynard children and their carts presented a pretty appearance.

The dolls were arranged in a light pushcart, borrowed from the grocer.

It was decorated with frills of crepe paper, and big paper bows at the corners.

In it were more than a hundred dolls, ranging from the elaborately-dressed French beauties to the funny little puppets the children had made.
Marjorie and Bertha Baker were themselves dressed to represent dolls.
Marjorie's dress was of pink muslin, frilled with lace, and a broad pink sash, tied low, with a big bow in the back.

A frilled bonnet of pink muslin and lace crowned her dark curls, and she had been instructed by Cousin Ethel to walk stiffly, and move jerkily like a jointed doll.
Bertha's costume was exactly like Marjorie's except that it was blue, and as Bertha's hair was blonde and curly, she looked very like a Bisque doll.
