The Campfire Girls of Roselawn

The Campfire Girls of Roselawn, also called A Strange Message from the Air, is a book by Margaret Penrose. The contents list chapter titles such as "They Hear a Voice", "A Road Mystery" and "Interest in Radio Spreads", among others. One speaker proposes going down town to the bookstore to see if they have laid in a stock of this radio stuff, and says that some things they have positively got to learn. Momsy is reported to want only two George Washington sundaes, to be brought home in two separate parcels, one blonde and one brunette.

Belle tosses her head and tells Mr. Drew in a high-pitched voice that she supposes he has to take the children home in good season, or they would be chastised. Darry growls that that girl ought to get a job at a broadcasting station, and that he never knew before she was such a chatterbox. Mark turns around in the driver’s seat to talk with Jessie, and the young man says it is a funny thing that the girl’s name should be Bertha Blair.
