the way."
So, in single file, they followed Cousin Jack's lead to the wigwam,
which they hadn't yet entered. He turned back the flap of the tent, and
there was room for all inside. On a table there there were eight Indian
baskets, of pretty design. On lifting the covers, each was found to
contain an "Indian Meal."
The meal was a few dainty little sandwiches and cakes, and a peach and a
pear, all wrapped in pretty paper napkins, with an Indian's head on the
corner.
Exercise had given the children good appetites, and they were quite
ready to do full justice to the "Indian Meal."
Sarah brought out lemonade, and later ice cream, so, as Midget said, it
really was a party after all.
Of course, the children kept the baskets and the pretty napkins as
souvenirs, and when the guests went home, they said they were glad they
didn't know the real date of Pocahontas' birthday, for it _might_ have
been in the winter, and then they couldn't have had nearly as much fun.
"And it's lucky we decided on this day," said Cousin Jack, after the
children had gone, "for to-morrow Ethel and I go back to Cambridge."
"Oh, Cousin Jack, not really!" cried Midget, in dismay.
"Yes, kiddy; we've changed our summer plans suddenly, and we're going to
Europe next week. So we leave here to-morrow. And sorry, indeed, are we
to leave our Maynard friends."
"I'm sorry, too," said Midget, "_awfully_ sorry, but I'm glad we've had
you down here as long as we have. You've been awful good to us, Cousin
Jack."
"You've been good to me, Mehitabel. And when I wander through the
interesting places abroad, I shall write letters to you, and when I come
home again, I'll bring you a souvenir from every place I've been to."
"Well, you're just the dearest Cousin Jack in all the world!" said
Midget, and she gave him a big hug and kiss to corroborate her words.
"And you're just the dearest Mopsy Midget Mehitabel!" he said, returning
her caress.
