One tall, ambitious girl contributed a unique float called, “Lot’s Wife Looking Backward.” She had not been certain of the color for the desert, consequently had made the whole thing, including the wagon, the boys, and herself snowy white.

However, the sun shone, and the addition of diamond dust over all made a very realistic picture that Billy praised heartily. “Well, papa did. If he was alive he’d be giving it to me about now, good and plenty.” While Betty had been busy in the garden her pet turkey, Job, who depended on his little mistress to feed him, became very hungry.
