“Wait!” she cried, a smile dimpling her cheeks, and shining with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.  “Wait!  You’ve forgotten something!  Eugenia’s chicken!”

Little Jim Gibbs came running after them with it, and Mr. Forbes lifted it up beside the hamper that held Joyce’s puppy.

“Oh, I’ve sat on my cake and mashed it,” moaned Joyce, as she moved over to make a place for the dilapidated old bandbox.  “How do you suppose we’re ever going to get home with such a mixture of frosted cakes and puppies and chickens, and all the keepsakes that those boys piled on to us at the last moment.”

It was amid much laughter that the carriage moved on again.  Down the long avenue they went, under that glowing arch, spangled as if with stars, and every friendly old locust held up all its twinkling lanterns to light them on their way.  Half-way down the path the band began to play “My Old Kentucky Home,” and, leaning far out of the carriage, Eugenia and Joyce looked back once more to wave a loving good-bye to the Little Colonel.
