Wait until I see Will," and she shook an imaginary brother.
"Never mind, dear, it's too hot for candies, anyhow," consoled Betty.
"Pass the talcum," and she reached for the box that Mollie was then
using. "It has the most delightful odor, Grace. Where did you get it?"
"It's a new sample lot Harrison's pharmacy got in. Mr. Harrison gave
me a box to try, and said---- "
"He wanted you to recommend it to your friends, I've no doubt,"
remarked Mollie.
"He didn't say so, but I haven't any hesitation in doing so. I just
love it."
"It is nice," said Amy. "I'm going to get some the next time I go
down-town."
The spicy scent of the perfumed talcum powder mingled with the odor of
the grass, the trees, and the flowers, over which the bees were
humming.
"Come, come, Betty!" exclaimed Mollie, vigorously, when shining noses
had been rendered immune from the effects of the sun, "when do we hear
that wonderful secret of yours?"
"Right away! Make yourselves comfortable. I'm going to walk about, and
get the proper action to go with the words.
