A storm had been threatening for some hours, and flakes of snow began to drift down before they left the slide. "Let's dress up in our best, girls," Louise said gaily. "Put on our best bibs and tuckers. Make it a gala occasion. Teddy, be sure and scrub behind your ears, naughty boy!" "I feel as though I ought to be in rompers the way you talk," said the Tucker twin, but he laughed.
Who's your little friend in the rompers?" sang out a voice beside them. It was Milt Daggett the Milt who must be scores of miles ahead. His bug had caught up with them, was running even with them on the broad road.
It was only when he saw a bit or two of shining metal which, according to his arrow head game of the afternoon, he picked up and tucked away in the pocket of his rompers, that his attention was once more turned to the gathering of the wonders that seemed to be under his feet all the time if only he looked for them hard enough. The errand to the stationery shop was successful.

Emmeline, of that transitional age which causes its exponent to look wistfully at the sitters when romping and at the rompers when sitting, uncertain whether her position in the household is that of child or woman, was idling in a corner. The two absent brothers and two absent sisters eldest members of the family completed the round ten whom Mrs.
They tumbled to the Fact that Elmer was not such a much, even if he did reside at Headquarters. It was evident that he had not been travelling with the Real Razmataz Rompers. He was panned to a Whisper next day. The Verdict was in. Elmer was branded a Dead One. He is now in the crowded City, trying to arrange to have his rowdy Parents come in and take the Cure.
When he tried them on Lovin Child, next day, Cash took one look and bolted from the cabin with his hand over his mouth.
