int," said Cousin Jack. "Turn, Mehitabel, turn."

Marjorie turned slowly round and round, but that didn't help her any.

"Turn, turn, turn, turn," Cousin Jack kept saying in a monotone, and
suddenly it flashed on Marjorie that he meant for her to turn something
else beside herself.

She turned the key of a bookshelf door, and opened it, but found nothing
but books.

"Turn, turn, turn, turn," droned Cousin Jack.

"Oh," thought Marjorie, "the closet!" and flying to the door of a large
closet in the room, she turned the knob, the door flew open, and there
she saw,--Uncle Steve and Kitty!

"Oh, Kit!" she cried, and in a moment the two girls were so tangled up

It was fun, indeed, to have both Cousin Jack and Uncle Steve present,
for these two men just devoted themselves to the cause, and made so
much fun and merriment that they seemed like big children themselves.

They gave a burlesque wrestling match on the lawn that sent the young
people off into peals of laughter. They made up funny dialogue, and were
always playing good-natured tricks on some of the children. Then Cousin
Jack said:

"Now we will play the Good Luck game. Into the hall, all of you!"

The children scampered into the hall, and on the wall they saw a large
placard which read:

"Pins one
Hairpins two
Four-leafed clovers five
Horse-shoes ten
Pennies fifteen
Black cats twenty-five."

Each guest was given a small fancy basket, w
