He got through the rest of the night on three bags of peanuts, some pop-corn, and some grapes; but that's easy for Pete, he can eat until he begins to shed buttons off his clothes so fast you'd think it was raining. Then he'll go to school, or out to play, for an hour or so, and back he comes ready for more. "We saw the grand stand show and the fireworks.
Christ wouldn't run a peanut stand to support the church, ner pave a sinner's way to Heaven with pop-corn balls and molasses candy " A half smothered cough came from the next room and everybody started. "Oh, it's only Charlie. He's got some work to do to-night," said the old man, reassuringly. "Everybody does it though," said Deacon Sharpe, encouraged by the nods of Chambers and Godfrey.
This was her wedding anniversary. She went up to the man. "You didn't give all of the picture tonight, did you?" Her voice was sharp; it mustn't tremble. He looked round at her in astonishment. He kept looking her up and down as if to make her out. Her trembling hands clutched the bag of pop-corn and some of it spilled. She let it all fall and put one hand to her mouth.
In this way he had been her one and only visitor; and then, having had his jocose presence so repeatedly called to mind at the Wangers', she had become disabled to think of him as anything but the ministering angel of pop-corn. Now her sole concern was to put in her appearance in as graceful a manner as possible.
'Give the old fellow three cheers, said another; while a third called out, Hello, Abe, your bread and meat's better than pop-corn! It was all good-natured, and not meant in unkindness. I could see no difference between them and our own men, except that they were ragged and attenuated for want of wholesome food. They were as happy a set of men as ever I saw.
But when they came opposite the yard, they saw that it was true. Dame Louisa's Christmas-trees stood there all twinkling with lights, and covered with trailing garlands of pop-corn, oranges, apples, and candy-bags; their yellow branches had turned green and the Christmas-trees were in full glory.
As suggested for a pop-corn party, the kitchen or dining-room is the best place in which to give a party of this kind. It may be decorated to look well, and the children doubtless would enjoy their play here more than in the parlor. This may be of dolls or real babies. You can borrow the babies for the occasion. A committee decides which is the handsomest baby, which the best-natured, etc.
We were passing the corner of a large enclosure which seems devoted in Saratoga to the most distracting of its pleasures, and I said: "Well, we might give them a turn on the circular railway or the switchback; or we could take them to the Punch and Judy drama, or get their fortunes told in the seeress's tent, or let them fire in the shooting-gallery, or buy some sweet-grass baskets of the Indians; and there is the pop-corn and the lemonade."
The earth was hopping up and down like pop-corn in a frying pan. The unfortunate thing was that the poor chap died on the way out. It was only the evening before that we had dined together and he had told me what he was going to do with his next leave. God bless you all, CON. October 14th, 1916. DEAREST MOTHER: I'm still all right and well.
"One guess, anyhow," put in Stella. "Toasting pop-corn," he ventured with a half smile. "You're warm." It was Myrtle speaking. Stella looked at him with round blue eyes. "One more guess," she suggested. "Chestnuts!" he guessed. She nodded her head gaily. "What hair!" he thought. Then "Where are they?" "Here's one," laughed his new acquaintance, holding out a tiny hand.
