The Evening Chit-Chat

Such a pathetic transformation
A little girl. a dear. pretty, girlish
little girl transformed into a woman
In three months.
Was 1t some great trouble, some
burden too heavy for young shoulders
to bear that wrought this sad trans
formation?
oh, no, not at ALL Just a young
girls foolishness plus a fond mothers
weakness plus a lot of black clothes
that would have looked quite suitable
on a grandmother and some skirts let
down and some hair put up where
neither belonged.
When / called on her mother last
summer Dorothy was sixteen, wore her
hair in a pigtail, had on a little plaid
bingham dress, and looked like a dear,
adorable little school girl.
Yesterday. three months later, when
l again called on her mother, a young
woman, apparently about % or %, with
her hair done high on her head and
her skirts within three inches of the
floor. came into the room. She wore
a black suit, a white net waist. a
black and white hat, and black gloves
1t was really a moment before
realized that this person actually was
