Then derisive laughter would fall on

herself had said 1t was to be the grand
est party ever given by . little girD Lena
had begged her mamma to make her a
new frock to wear on the occasion. And
Lena's mamma had complied with her
little girls request, and on saturday
morning she called Lena into the sewing
room to show her the new frock. which
was splendid with ribbon bows and lace
frills. It was all blue and white-the
frock and the trimmings-and reminded
Lena OF the sky on a summer day when
white clouds fioated over It.
Lena was % overjoyed with the new
frock that she begged her mamma to al
low her to wear 1t uptown when she went
on an errand. But the mamma explained
that she might get tho pretty best
dress soiled while running the errand.
and told her she must not put 1t on till
time to go to the party. OF course. Lena
was much disappointed, for she wanted
to go by Lily Smiths house on her way
uptown and to show her new frock to
Lily. She hated to wait till 4 o'clock to
have her little friends see the lovely blue
and white dream" So she went of pout-
ing and performed the errand for her
mamma indifferently. On returning home
ing:
Miss Lena. your mamma has gone to
make some calls and said to tell you that
she'd be home again before time for you
to start to the party. She left luncheon
on the table for you. She and your papa
had their luncheon earlier than usual
Lena went to the dining room and ate
her luncheon. Then she ran upstairs to
take another peep at the new frock. How
lovely 1t was-so blue and white! Then
Lena wondered IL it would fit nicely. Her
mamma had never made a dress for her
that did not fit nicely, but this one might
prove the exception. Perhaps she would
better slip 1t on to make sure. And II
she found 1t too tight, or too loose, her
mamma could remedy the error on her
return home.
So Lena quickly slipped out Of her
everyday frock and into the pretty new
one. Surely. IL must be q bit wrong
somewhere. But no. 1t was q perfect mt
and felt 50 comfy. Lena had learned how
to button her own ffocks. and was not
