It was arranged that all the toys, dolls, and fancy things for
sale should be displayed in Marjorie's porch. Carter had put up
some long tables, which Grandma Sherwood had draped prettily with
white and light green cheese-cloth.

The other parts of the big veranda were arranged with tables,
where ices and cakes were to be served; and a pretty booth was
devoted to the sale of home-made candies.

The verandas and grounds were made gay with flags and Chinese
lanterns. Uncle Steve superintended these decorations, which
insured their being beautiful and appropriate. A tent on the lawn
sheltered some musicians; and in an arbor, lemonade was dispensed.

The day of the bazaar was clear and pleasant, and not too warm.
Early in the afternoon, Stella and Molly arrived, and the two,
with Midge, all in their fresh white dresses, flitted about from
one booth to another, to make sure that everything was in
readiness.

Several other girls and boys, and some ladies and gentlemen too,
had been invited to assist in selling the things and to wait on
the guests, so that when the bazaar opened at four o'clock in the
afternoon a merry lot of young people were scattered about the
grounds.

Marjorie was in her element. "Oh, Uncle Steve," she cried; "isn't
it all perfectly lovely! And I think we'll make quite a lot of
money, don't you?"
