`` It will be such a nice surprise for her , '' the sister mused jubilantly . Penelope was surprised as much as the tender , sisterly heart could wish when Doris flashed out upon her triumphantly on the evening of the party with the black skirt nicely pressed and re-hung , and the prettiest waist imaginable -- a waist that was a positive `` creation '' of dainty rose-besprinkled silk , with a girdle and knots of black velvet . `` Doris Hunter , you are a veritable little witch ! Do you mean to tell me that you conjured that perfectly lovely thing for me out of the lining of Grandmother Hunter 's quilt ? '' So Penelope went to Blanche 's party and her dress was the admiration of every girl there . Mrs. Fairweather , who was visiting Mrs. Anderson , looked closely at it also . She was a very sweet old lady , with silver hair , which she wore in delightful , old-fashioned puffs , and she had very bright , dark eyes . Penelope thought her altogether charming . `` She looks as if she had just stepped out of the frame of some lovely old picture , '' she said to herself . `` I wish she belonged to me . I 'd just love to have a grandmother like her . And I do wonder who it is I 've seen who looks so much like her . '' A little later on the knowledge came to her suddenly , and she thought with inward surprise : Why , it is Doris , of course . If my sister Doris lives to be seventy years old and wears her hair in pretty white puffs , she will look exactly as Mrs. Fairweather does now . Mrs. Fairweather asked to have Penelope introduced to her , and when they found themselves alone together she said gently , `` My dear , I am going to ask a very impertinent question . Will you tell me where you got the silk of which your waist is made ? '' Poor Penelope 's pretty young face turned crimson . She was not troubled with false pride by any means , but she simply could not bring herself to tell Mrs. Fairweather that her waist was made out of the lining of an old heirloom quilt . `` My Aunt Adella gave me -- gave us -- the material , '' she stammered . `` And my elder sister Doris made the waist for me .
I think the silk once belonged XXXXX my Grandmother Hunter . ''
