Rh you ever heard of, and when about six o'clock the rain stopped and the sun came out pure yellow gold, they had a plate of beautiful cream-colored candy to take to Mrs. Peter Apgar.

"Who wants to help me milk?" asked Jud, passing the kitchen door as they were talking to his mother.

"Oh, Jud, I do!" begged Meg. "You promised to show me how."

"Dot looks dressed up to me," announced Jud. "Keep her out of the mud, somebody."

"This is my prettiest dress," said Dot serenely, smoothing down the folds of her white dotted swiss under her coral-colored sweater.

Mrs. Sally Sweet looked mildly interested when she saw such a number of people coming into her comfortable barnyard, and when Jud drove her into the barn and fastened her in the stanchion, all the children stood around to watch.
