I'm going over to find out. Come along?"
"No, thank you. You had better keep out. You know you are not
supposed to go in the other dressing tent."
Teddy was not disturbed by the warning. He turned and started
for the women's dressing tent, where he saw several of the other
performers passing through the entrance. Phil, who had stepped
to the door of his own dressing tent, observed the same thing.
"I guess there must be something going on over there. I shall
have to find out what it means," he thought.
"May I come in, Mrs. Waite?" called Phil from the entrance.
"Sure. Come in Phil," smiled the wardrobe woman.
Teddy had not wasted the breath to ask permission to enter, but
the moment he stepped inside something caught his eyes, causing
them to open a little wider.
Two trunks had been drawn up in the center; over them was thrown
an American flag. At one end a flag on a standard had been
planted, and on the trunks, flowers and wreaths had been placed.
