"How will you manage that?"
"Do you remember those wild grape vines that Helen and Ethel Brown
found in the West Woods and used for Hallowe'en decorations? If we
could get a thick one and wind it with green paper and let it curve
from the rose toward the ground it ought to look like a real stem."
"We could hang the rose with dark string that wouldn't show, and fasten
the stem to the branch of the tree with a pink bow. It would look as
if some giant had tied it there for his ladylove."
"I have an old pink sash I'll contribute to the good cause," laughed
Helen. "I've been wondering what to do with it for some time."
"Everything on the table must be pink and shaped like a rose or
decorated with roses--cushions, pen-wipers, baskets, stencilled bureau
sets--there are a thousand things to be made."
"Boxes covered with rose paper," suggested James solemnly.
Everybody shouted, for James's imagination always seemed to be
stimulated whenever he saw a chance to make something with paste-pot
and brush.
"How about music?"
This question brought silence, for it was not easy to arrange for music
in the open.
