he afternoon and evening. She had
already made a careful schedule of the broadcasting done by all the
stations within reach of her fine radio set, and found that it was
possible, by tuning her instrument to the wave lengths of different
stations, to get something interesting into every hour from two
o'clock on until eleven.

Naturally, some of the entertainments would be more interesting or
amusing than others; but as New Melford people for the most part were
as yet unfamiliar with radio, almost anything out of the air would
seem curious and entertaining.

"Besides," Burd Alling said in comment on this, "for a good cause we

"Let me tell you, Mr. Smarty," said Amy, "that Jessie's lecture is
well worth the price of admission alone. Never mind the radio

"I'll come to hear it every time," agreed Burd. "You can't scare me!"

sandwiches and cake from the house kitchen, where Mrs. Norwood's cook
herself presided proudly over the goodies.

In several booths were orangeade, lemonade, and other soft drinks. The
fancy costumes and the funny masks the girls and boys wore certainly
