stores."

"We can't do that," said Dolly, decidedly. "We haven't lots of money
like you have, Bernie; I'm going to see things. I want to see all the
pictures I possibly can. I love to look at pictures."

"I want to go to the theatre," and Dotty looked at Bernice
inquiringly. "Will we, do you s'pose?"

"Oh, yes, Mrs. Berry will take us. Perhaps we can go to matinees,
alone."

"I don't think we ought to do that," and Dolly looked distinctly
disapproving.

"Oh, come now, old priggy-wig," said Dotty, "don't be too awfully
'fraidcat!"

"It will be just as Mrs. Berry says," Bernice informed them. "Father
said I must obey her in everything. Uncle Jeff won't pay much
attention to what we do, but Mrs. Berry will. I wonder if Alicia will
be there when we get there."

But Alicia wasn't. As the girls came up the stairs into the great
station, they saw a smiling, motherly-looking lady waiting to welcome
them.

"Here you are!" she cried, and it wasn't necessary for Bernice to
introduce her friends, except to tell which was which.
