time, and we can do it, we might decorate?" and she looked at her
chums questioningly.

"Surely," said Grace, and Mollie took the chance to whisper to her:

"Why don't you start some questions?"

"I will-- if I get a chance," was the answer.

Betty was finding out more about the carnival when the start would be
made, the course and other details. The races would take place the day
after the boat parade.

"There will be canoe and rowing races, as well as tub and 'upset'
events," said Mr. Stone. "We are also planning to have a swimming and
diving contest the latter part of the regatta week, but I don't
suppose you young ladies would care to enter that."

"We all swim, and we have our bathing suits," said Mollie,
indefinitely.

"Mollie dives beautifully!" exclaimed Amy.

"I do not-- that is, I'm not an expert at it," Mollie hastened to say.
"But I love diving."

"Then why not enter?" asked Mr. Kennedy. "I am chairman of that
committee. I'll put the names of you girls down, if you don't mind. It
doesn't commit you to anything."
