"Well, you understand, Mademoiselle, if I know what you require the dress for I shall be able to know what style, material, and price it should be. "I want the plainest style," said little Perrine timidly, "and the lightest but best wearing material, and the lowest price." "Very good, very good," replied Madame Lachaise, "they will show you something. Virginie, attend to Mademoiselle."
