We may go to Oak Farm, or to some
other place; but we'll try a circuit of rural dramas, and see how
they go."
Alice went to tell Ruth the good news. She found her sister in the
dressing room, getting ready for the street.
"I think that will be fine!" exclaimed Ruth. "Listen, dear, daddy
told me he had some business to attend to downtown, so he won't be
home to supper. He suggested that we two go to a restaurant, and I
think I'd like it--don't you? It will round out the day!"
"Of course. Let's go. I'm _so_ hungry from that little water trip!"
A short time afterward the girls sat in a quiet restaurant, not far
from the moving picture studio. There were not many persons there
yet, for it was rather early. Ruth and Alice had taken a cosy little
corner, of which there were a number in the place.
"We are coming on!" remarked Alice, as she gave her order.
"We certainly are!" agreed Ruth. "Who would ever have thought that we
would get to be moving picture girls? I think----"
"Hush!" cautioned Alice, raising her hand for silence. Then the two
girls heard some men in the next screened-off place talking, and one
of them spoke loudly enough to be overheard.
