A Story of Ball Dress.
"Fiftv dollars, Nettie not one cent more 81
Mrs Locke said. decidedly.
| "Fifty dollars ~ Nettie echoed, discon
tentedly. ooh dear how far will fifty dol
lars go Dress, shoes, flowers, gloves-that
last packet Aunt Nell sent me is exhausted
that is, all the evening tints, and III have
to buy pair. Let me count up gloves
three dollars and half; shoes. can buy a
pair for five dollars-cheap but they'll have
to do; | can manage with ten dollars worth
of French flowers if use them with dis
erection. of course Phil will send me all
the natural flowers I'll need. That leaves
thirty-one dollars and half for my dress,
not counting the dress-maker's bill, of course;
Madame Perot will wait. Do you think |
can make it do, mamma ?"
"You will have TO make it do Nettie
Your father says he can't possibly give Won
any more. You know he has had heavy
losses in two or three directions, owing to
the recent failures"
Its so provoking Just now, too, when
| especially want to make good appearance
at this party. I'm sure can't see why the
bank couldn't have waited little longer
before breaking up in this horrid way. If
they had only waited till next week, I
shouldn't have cared so much," Nettie said,
poutingly.
