They was made just like stockin's with no feet to 'em, and if she wore 'em, she'd have to crawl in, either at the bottom or the top. She said she never see the beat of those nightgowns." "Do tell!" ejaculated Grandmother. "And her hair looks as if she ain't never combed it since the day she was born. The milkman says it looks about like a hen's nest and is pretty much the same colour.
She thought this must be a service special to the burial of a woman of Anna. She read the small print. "The woman at the usual time after her delivery shall come into the church decently apparelled...." Decently apparelled? Anna was in one of those nightgowns in which Rosalie so often had seen her praying. "... and there shall kneel down in some convenient place." Kneel down? How could she?...
"O but it makes people look so handsome! Frederica looks like she is a real beauty! I should like to be dressed so. Daisy, don't you suppose queens and ladies, like those in the pictures, are always dressed so?" "I suppose they put on nightgowns when they go to bed," said Ella Stanfield soberly. "They can't always be dressed so." "O but, I mean, when they are up.
I hate little towns and little spenders and mercerized stockings and cotton lisle next to my skin, and machine-stitched nightgowns. Ugh! it scratches!" "And I I just love you in those starchy white shirt waists, Hester. You're beautiful." "That's just the trouble. It satisfies you, but it suffocates me. I've got a pink-crêpe-de-Chine soul.

"It was open a little way, and he was standing up and measuring one of mother's nightgowns against his chest. I couldn't think what he was doing it for at first." Mr. Farrer whistled and his face hardened. "That's not fair play," he said at last. "All right; I'll be ready for him." "He doesn't like to be put in the wrong," said Miss Ward. "He wants to prove that you haven't got any courage.
It is the story of a disaster that nations, it is hoped, will make impossible in the years to come.

On All Hallow Eve, two hours before the sun, they went into the garden, barefoot, in their nightgowns and circled about a stone which was believed to be bewitched.
