"Are we going to stay all day?" Laurie asked.

"well, most of it anyway." an- swered his mother. "Daddy will call for us in time in come home to supper. but we shall be hav- ing dinner there."

would be a bit loo large for him too. But let me think. There is a piece of plaid material in my quilt box. It should be big enough for overalls lor Ginger. Let's go and look."

Laurie needed no coaxing. Tak- ing Grandma's hand. he walked beside her up the back stair. She took out a big cardboard box and opened it. Inside were rolls and little bundles of cloth in all kinds and colors.

"There's a piece of red cordunoy that looks like the overalls you made me," said Laurie.

“Just what it is," smiled Grand- ma. "And this white with the tiny blue flowers was part of what I made Linda's new dress. This blue broadcloth is a bit from my last apron. Oh_ here is what I was looking for." She held up a piece of red and white plaid gingham.

"'I'hat's lust lovely. Grandma," said Laurie. "That will make bea- tiful overalls for my teddy. would this piece of white be big enough [or a shirt for him too?"

Grandma‘s eyes twinkled behind

her glasses. "Now vou‘re loolinz me," she said. "You asked {or overalls, and now ,you want a

shirt too. But we'll see. Come now and help me get the vegetables for dinner.

Grandaddy came back from the store in time for dinner, and they all sat down. Laurie ate and ate and ate. It seemed as if the vegetables always tasted twice as good at Grandma's. He didn't want any dessert, but he ate three big fluffy biscuits instead.

“Come along now for a little rest." said Grandaddy to Laurie. “If you are 8 good boy. Grandma will have a surprise when you wake up."

Laurie climbed up on Gran- daddy‘s big soft bed. He stretched and yawned. That big dinner had made him feel teeny. His eyes about the Grandma might. have for

surmise. him.
