Don't you know yet that abody don't weed a garden on Fridays? Ours always gets done on Monday. But if you want to get out you dare take some of the sand-tarts I baked yesterday up to David's mom, she likes them so much. And you ask her if she can come down next week to help with the dresses. But don't stay too long, for it's been so hot all day and I think it's goin' to storm yet."
But instead of sand, the pail was found to contain sandwiches and crisp little cakes known as sand-tarts. After these there were served dainty little paper pails, from a caterer's, filled with ice cream. "What a lovely sand picnic!" exclaimed Marjorie, as she sat on the sand, blissfully disposing of her ice cream. "I'm going to call Cousin Jack, The Sandman!"
"Well," said Millie, her face glowing with interest and pride in the girl, "if you ain't the funniest! I just bet them girls all want you to come their way. But what kind o' meals do you get?" "Good, Millie. Of course, though, I haven't any cellar to go to for pie or any cooky crock filled with sand-tarts with shellbarks on the top." "Don't you worry, Manda.
I'll make you sand-tarts and lemon pie and everything you like every time you come home still." "Millie, you good soul! With that promise to help me I'll work like a Trojan and win some honors at old M.S.N.S. Just watch me!" Amanda did work.

"Well, he'll eat them if they are broken. Davie is crazy for cookies." "I'm going to need you more than ever now, Phœbe," Mother Bab said as they started home.
"Aunt Maria sent you some sand-tarts." "Isn't she good!" "Yes, but" the blue eyes twinkled mischievously "they are just a bribe. We want you to come down and help us with the dresses some day next week. You are not to sew, but if you are there to tell about the fit of them I'll feel better satisfied. Whew! If it's as hot as this I'll have a lovely time fitting woolen dresses!" "You won't mind."
