"Some of you fellows be sure and prompt me if I do--and do it
quick, so's I won't get worse rattled."
"I know one thing," said Cecily resolutely, "and that is, I'm
going to curl my hair for to-morrow night. I've never curled it
since Peter almost died, but I simply must tomorrow night, for all
the other girls are going to have theirs in curls."
"The dew and heat will take all the curl out of yours and then
you'll look like a scarecrow," warned Felicity.
"No, I won't. I'm going to put my hair up in paper tonight and
wet it with a curling-fluid that Judy Pineau uses. Sara brought
me up a bottle of it. Judy says it is great stuff--your hair will
keep in curl for days, no matter how damp the weather is. I'll
leave my hair in the papers till tomorrow evening, and then I'll
have beautiful curls."
"You'd better leave your hair alone," said Dan gruffly. "Smooth
hair is better than a lot of fly-away curls."
But Cecily was not to be persuaded. Curls she craved and curls
she meant to have.
"I'm thankful my warts have all gone, any-way," said Sara Ray.
"So they have," exclaimed Felicity. "Did you try Peg's recipe?"
"Yes. I didn't believe in it but I tried it. For the first few
days afterwards I kept watching my warts, but they didn't go away,
and then I gave up and forgot them.
