"We might have finger shadows--rabbits' and dogs' heads and so on;
George Foster does them splendidly, and then have some one recite and
some one else do a monologue in costume."
"Aren't we going to have that sort of thing inside?"
"I suppose so, but if your idea is to give more space inside,
considering that all Rosemont is expected to come to this festivity, we
might as well have a performance in two rings, so to speak."
"Especially as some of the people might be a little shy about coming
inside," suggested Dorothy.
"Why not forget Punch and Judy and have the same performance exactly in
both places?" demanded Roger, quite excited with his idea. "The Club
gives a flower dance, for instance, in the hall; then they go into the
yard and give it there in the ten cent enclosure while number two of the
program is on the platform inside. When number two is done inside it is
put on outside, and so right through the whole performance."
"That's not bad except that the outside people are paying ten cents to
see the show and the inside people aren't paying anything."
"Well, then, why not have the tables where you sell things--if you are
going to have any?"--
"We are," Helen responded to the question in her brother's voice.
"--have your tables on the lawn, and have everybody pay to see the
performance--ten cents to go inside or ten cents to see the same thing
in the enclosure?"
"That's the best yet," decided Ethel Brown.
