worsted shawl for Mrs. Dunn, and a little white cap for the baby.

"I don't suppose these things are so awful necessary," Midget
confided to Uncle Steve, "but it will be such fun to see how glad
they'll be to get them." Molly, who was more practical, advised
some aprons and shoes and stockings, while Stella's preference was
for toys.

"They don't need so many clothes in summer time," she said, "and
something to amuse them will make them forget how hot it is."

It was wonderful how long that ten dollars lasted, and how many
things it bought! Marjorie lost count of their expenditures, but
every time she asked Uncle Steve if there was any money left, he
answered, "Oh, yes, quite a bit more," and so they bought and
bought, until the carriage was overflowing with bundles.

At last, Marjorie said: "Now, I'm sure the money is all gone, and
I do believe. Uncle Steve, you've been adding some to it; but
there are two more things I do want to buy most awfully--and
they're both pink."

"I'd hate to have two pink things left out," declared Uncle Steve,
"and I'm sure there's just money enough left for the two. What are
they, Mopsy?"

"Well, one is a pink parasol for that Elegant Ella. Not a silk
one, you know, Uncle, but a sateen one, with a little ruffle
around it, and a white handle. She'd be so delighted, she'd just
go crazy!"
