ery one helps and we raise money. We're trying
to get enough for an organ now."

"But how do you get the money?" asked Mary Jane, to whom this was all
new.

"We sell the strawberries and cake--ten cents for a dish of fruit with
a piece of cake," explained Grandmother. "I expect you never heard of
the like before, but I think you'll have a good time all the same.
There'll be other little girls there, Frances Westland and Helen Loiter
and maybe others; you'll have a beautiful time. Now let's get out your

If there was one thing above another that Mary Jane loved to do, it was
to dress up in her best clothes. She loved the feel of the soft, fine

Grandmother laughed, too, and then bustled out to the kitchen, put on a
great big all-over apron and prepared the supper.

"We'll not have a thing but eggs and bread and jam and milk," she
announced, "because with all the cake and strawberries you're going to
have that's all you should eat--just very plain food. Mary Jane, you
slip on this apron and help Grandfather feed the chickens and by that
time I'll have supper ready to eat."

When they drove up to the village church an hour later Mary Jane looked
upon a yard of hurry and fun such as she had never before seen. Men
were fixing lanterns on wires, others were carrying chairs and
arranging them around tables underneath the lanterns. Women were
fixing great bowls of crimson berries (and oh,
