"What?" asked Rose. Stubby pointed to the morning-glory vine climbing all over the arbor, with its pink and violet blossoms rolled tightly up, _just_ like an umbrella! Rose clapped her hands. "Just the thing," she cried. The children next made long braids of hair of striped grass, and fastened them to the backs of the dolls' heads with thorns. Then they bound broad sashes of satiny grass around the waists and used the flat nasturtium leaves for sailor hats. "Now we must begin a house for them to live in," proceeded Rose. "Pick up little stones and make squares on the piazza floor for rooms." Stubby soon made four rooms, leaving a door in each, with a hall down the middle. "We can have grape leaves for blankets on the beds, and rose-petals for pillows, can't we?" said Stubby excitedly, "and a big, flat stone for a table and little stones for chairs!--and more rose petals for chair cushions!" Marguerite was busily pinning a sweet-pea on her doll's head for a bonnet, and Rose finished arranging an acorn cup full of tiny green grapes for apples, before she replied. |
