"
Zara was one of those who drew a piece of paper marked "work" from the
big hat in which Miss Eleanor put a slip of paper for every girl, while
Bessie and Dolly each drew a slip marked "play."
"To-morrow the girls who work to-day will play," said Miss Eleanor, "and
those who play to-day will draw again. Four of them will play again
to-morrow, and the other four will work, and then, on the third day,
those who play tomorrow will work, and on the fourth day to-day's four
will work again. That will give everyone two days off and one day to
work while we're in camp. And I think that's fair."
So did everyone else, and Dolly, always willing to put off work as long
as she could, was delighted.
"Let's take a long walk this afternoon, Bessie," she said. "The air up
here makes me feel more like walking than I ever do when I'm at home.
There I usually take a car whenever I can, though I've been trying to
walk more lately, so as to get an honor bead."
"I'll be glad to take a walk, Dolly," said Bessie, laughing.
