The skirt is cut off and gored , with a splendid train -- '' `` My dear , you do n't mean you are going to wear one of those absurd , new-fashioned dresses ? '' exclaimed Pris , lifting hands and eyes . `` I do ! Nothing would induce me to go to Class Day without a train . It 's been the desire of my heart to have one , and now I will , if I never have another gown to my back ! '' returned Kitty , with immense decision . Pris shook her head , and said , `` Go on ! '' as if prepared for any extravagance after that . `` We can make it ourselves , '' continued Kitty , `` and trim it with the same . It 's white with blue stripes and daisies in the stripes ; the loveliest thing you ever saw , and ca n't be got here . So simple , yet distingué , I know you 'll like it . Next , my bonnet , '' -- here the solemnity of Kitty 's face and manner was charming to behold . `` I shall make it out of one of my new illusion undersleeves . I 've never worn them ; and the puffed part will be a plenty for a little fly-away bonnet of the latest style . I 've got blue ribbons to tie it with , and have only to look up some daisies for the inside . With my extra two dollars I shall buy my gloves , and pay my fares , -- and there I am , all complete .

They were poor , and every penny had to be counted . There were plenty of neighbors to gossip and criticise , and plenty of friends to make disagreeable remarks on any unusual extravagance . Pris saw things with the prudent eyes of thirty , but Kitty with the romantic eyes of seventeen ; and the elder sister , in the kindness of her heart , had no wish to sadden life to those bright young eyes , or deny the child a harmless pleasure .
She sewed thoughtfully for a minute , then looked up , saying , with the smile that always assured XXXXX the day was won , -- `` Get your things together , and we will see what can be done .
