"There, Mabel, will those be enough for you?': " Oh, yes, plenty; I just thought I'd like to write them down while I had a good chance, because I can't write so fast as the rest can. Now I'll go to work and make my pudding." LAST DAY. " Oh, Aunt Jane, must you really go next week? Can't you stay just a little longer? What shall we do without you?" " It's very hard for me to go, Gracie, but you must remember that there are some people waiting at home who have had to do without me all summer. And then Amy must be back in time for the opening of school." " I shall miss Amy so muchl " said Mabel plaintively. " Oh, you and Amy must write to each other and tell all your experiences, and next summer I hope your mamma will bring you both to see us." " Don't you think it would be a good thing," said Mrs. Yernon, who came in at that moment, " to have one grand cooking frolic to close up with, and ask both the other families in? Considering what famous little cooks these girls have become, I think it would be quite exciting." "It's an excellent idea," replied Mrs. King. "We must look over our recipes and pick out the nicest, and try to show ourselves off to the best possible advantage I really think we can make a very creditable display."
