"THE JOLLY SANDBOY" The Sand Club was not very strict in its methods or systems.

Some days it met, and some days it didn't.

Sometimes all the court was present, and sometimes only three or four of them.
But everything went on harmoniously, and there were no exhibitions of ill temper from the Sand Witch.
In fact, Hester was absorbed in doing her part toward the first number of _The Jolly Sandboy_.
The child was quite an adept at drawing and painting, and she was making several illustrations for their court journal.

One, representing Marjorie seated on her sand throne, was really clever, and there were other smaller pictures, too.
Kingdon worked earnestly to get the paper into shape.

He had contributions from all the club, and from Mr.and Mrs.Maynard also.
