The Girl Scouts at Camp Comalong: Peg of Tamarack Hills

It was Corene’s idea. She had just returned from a glorious two weeks spent in a real Girl Scouts’ Camp, and the brief time acted like a whiff of something good, and it tasted like more and Corene wanted it.


“Two weeks!” she repeated moodily.


“What can you expect?” queried Louise. “Everyone must have a turn.”

“Besides all that, you went away to camp early on account of having finished your school work,” Cleo reminded her, “and consequently those very two weeks are so much extra. We haven’t gone away at all yet.” “I know,” agreed the abused one, “and please don’t slap me, or do anything like that, girls. I have just been thinking of those wonderful days——” She slid down and thrust her feet out so suddenly and determinedly that she upset a harmless little vase, water, flowers and all, right on the floor of the recreation room.
