There seemed to be enough suits and dresses for all the little girls in the world and Mary Jane was certain sure that she could never tell which she liked best. But mother and Alice helped her and before very long they had bought a pretty little gray coat and one pink afternoon dress and two pink and two blue rompers for playtimes. "There, now," said Mrs.
"Even if I am a woman, there ought to be something more than making rompers for the rest of my days." "You might," said the infatuated Tommy, "marry." "Marry? Marry whom?" Tommy wished that he might shout "Me!" from the housetops. But he knew the futility of it. "I shall never marry," she said, "until I find somebody different from anything I've ever seen."
Leary could picture the rows upon rows of gloating eyes. He heard the incredulous shout that would mark his entrance, the swell of unholy glee from the benches that would interrupt the proceedings.

They can't seem to be coexistent citizens, and they have been fighting this way since they both had on rompers. I wondered what Tolly had been doing now.

Culver had helped the girls cut out two sets of dark, comfortable rompers, and Rosanna had sewed them up on her little machine. Mrs. Culver was also making a romper for Baby Christopher.

She was interrupted by the bouncing appearance of a stocky, handsome, red-faced, full-chinned, curly-black-haired man of forty, in riding-breeches and boots and a silk shirt; with him an excited small boy in rompers Patton Kerr, Sr. and Jr. "Here you are!"
Why, you're the most impetuous boy " "Boy!" Pierce grimaced his dislike of the word. "Don't be motherly; don't treat me as if I had rompers on. You're positively maddening to-night.
