"Jumping Hornets!" he exclaimed; "isn't that a beauty! Just what I wanted!" "Whose birthday is this, anyhow?" laughed Marjorie, as she carefully unrolled the tissue-paper packing from a fine microscope.
Tom?" "No; it isn't his writing, anyway. There is a little package from him and a letter but the big box is from Reno, too." "Why don't you open it and see who sent it?" asked Chrystobel, busy herself with a big home box. "I will as soon as I investigate the things Mrs. Vane sent me. Aren't they pretty?

Having swept away by a stroke of the pen all this mass of finery, a "Clergyman's Wife" goes on to make some "suggestions," which we quote for the edification of our lady readers: "Morning dress: Lilac print, calico apron, linen collar.

"That's Jerry Mullet," whispered Oliver to Sunny Boy.
That was all that she could do to make herself ready, except to put her hair-ribbons and handkerchiefs smoothly into a little diamond-shaped box that had once held toilet soap. Betty felt rich in ribbons "to tie up her bonnie brown hair," for there were three bows the colour of her curls, and two of red, and one of delicate robin's-egg blue.
Don't you think we ought to be called by our full names and not Dolly and Dotty any more?" "I don't know. Why?" "Oh, 'cause we're too big for baby names. I'm going to stop wearing hair-ribbons." "You are! How ever will you keep your hair back? And you've such a lot of it." "I know. So've you. Why, I'll just braid it, and let the end flutter. But Mother says she won't let me till I'm sixteen.
Joy's linen was all of the prettiest pattern, with wonderful trimmings and embroideries such as Gypsy had seldom seen: her collars and undersleeves were of the latest fashion, and fluted with choice laces; her tiny slippers were tufted with velvet bows, and of her nets and hair-ribbons there was no end.
We are neither Eskimos nor Hindoos, it is true, but the Empire State would not change climates with either of you." "No, indeed!" chimed in Young New York, who always followed her leader in everything, from opinions down to hair-ribbons. "No, indeed!" repeated Virginia, with languid scorn.
