p in her hands.

"It's Kernel Cob and Sweetclover!" shouted Jackie and Peggs together,
and in a jiffy they had them in their arms.

And they all had a wonderful party of ice cream and cakes and puddings
and candies, the best party ever you saw.

"This is the happiest day of my life," said Father.

"It is indeed," said Mother.

"I never thought I could be so happy," said Peggs.

"You bet," said Jackie.

"Well," said Sweetclover to Kernel Cob, "now do you understand?"

"Huh," said Kernel Cob, "I knew it all the time, only I didn't want to
spoil the surprise for you."

"But what I want to know," said Peggs, "is how Kernel Cob and Little
Miss Sweetclover never wilted like all the other flowers, but have
kept as fresh as the day we made them."

"I'll tell you why," said Jackie, and he looked very wise. "It's
because they are fairy dolls and everybody knows that fairies live on
forever and forever!"
