Not the least of her woe was caused by the realization that now the dress was ingloriously what Maizie had termed it, a pale pink lawn at ten cents a yard, bearing no appeal to her imagination, fulfilling no place in Suzanna's great Scheme of Things. Suzanna's distress, as the days passed, did not abate.

Maizie appeared merely sleepily amused. "Kindly be seated, girls." Mrs. Weatherbee motioned them to an upholstered settee near the door. Casting a baleful glance at Jane, Marian complied with the terse invitation. Maizie dropped lazily down beside her, her slow smile in evidence. Matters promised to be interesting.
He entered the kitchen at once, his face aglow. "Just the turn of a screw!" he exclaimed. He spoke directly to his wife. "Oh, my dear, it's coming on. Nearly ready to show to John Massey." "Oh, I am happy for you," she cried. He spoke to Suzanna and Maizie: "Would you chicks like to take a walk down town with me?" He fumbled in his pocket.

So Suzanna, Maizie, Peter and the dog stepped within the gorgeous room. Soft music came enchantingly from a hidden orchestra, ladies beautifully gowned and bejeweled stood about in graceful postures. Mrs.
"Yes, I know," put in Suzanna, as though Maizie had spoken to her. "But mother doesn't have to go round turning water into wine and doing lots of other wonderful things." "Well, I wish He had smiled," Maizie persisted. Suzanna looked searchingly at her sister. "Why do you wish that, Maizie?" she asked. "Oh, I'd think then He was more like a big brother," said Maizie.
She turned half reluctantly to the orphans and looked steadily at them, as though trying to produce in herself a warmer glow for them. They did not stir under the look. "But naughty children have to be made good even if you have to slap them, Suzanna," said Maizie pleadingly. "But not by you, Maizie," said Suzanna; "you never can slap or be cross. I have a bad temper and sometimes get mad.
Her hand on the door knob she turned and addressed Jane. "You're a real Right Guard," she said in her slow, drawling fashion. "Not only on the team, but in everything else.

"The children were all in a bad humor this morning and so we thought we'd have a picnic." "Oh, no, mother," said Maizie earnestly, "we weren't in a bad humor. We just didn't like things at home."
