"Who wants to go to grouchy old Towne's reception when you can go to a dance? I've got two bids to the Phi Pi's party," said a fourteen-year-old miss. "Oh, we'll have to go or she'll flunk us in Algebra," said another girl. "I'll wear my pink silk organdy. What'll you wear?" "My red silk. Maybe she'll let us dance. I suppose Charlie and Kent'll both want to take me."
Here she is in the slums when she'd be dramatically right in an apple orchard at the time of year when the trees are covered with pink and white blossoms." The Young Doctor laughed. He so well understood the Superintendent so enjoyed her point of view. "Yes," he agreed, "she'd be perfect there in an organdy frock with the sun slanting across her face. But well, she's just like other girls.
Flowered organdy will be very pretty for the panniers, and sateen or silkoline will do for the skirts. The hats can be easily managed, and I'm sure we can get the crooks down at the shop; if not, Dad will bring them from New York." "You're a brick, Trudy," and Dotty flung her arms around the kind-hearted girl. "It's awful good of you to do mine as well as Dolly's."
"You mean that you were in earnest about her volunteering to take Pierre's place?" demanded the Englishman, looking at the little smiling figure in pink organdy. "I know I look useless," interposed Marjorie for herself. "But Mr. Ellison will tell you that I really can work hard. If somebody will only show me a little about the routine I'll be all right."
The tall girlish figure, in its flounces of organdy muslin, with the smooth parting of bright brown hair and the dovelike eyes, had flowered suddenly into a beauty that took her breath away. "Why, you are a vision a vision!" she cried delightedly. Virginia stopped short in her twirling and settled the illusion ruche over her slim white shoulders.
"'Nobody asked you, sir, she said! I'm getting them myself. I may be intending to make up a set of wash-satin blankets for the Harrington bulldog for all you know. I don't think he'd be surprised they treat him like a long-lost relative now. Now be sensible, darling. Do you think valenciennes or filet would be better to trim the blankets? Or do you like these lace and organdy motifs?
Missy couldn't have blamed them for that, because none of the other Congregational ladies was half as pretty. To-night Aunt Isabel had on a billowy pale-blue organdy, and she looked more like an angel than ever. An ethereally radiant, laughing, vivacious angel. And whenever she moved near you, you caught a ghostly whiff of that delicious perfume.
As the gowns and underwear, hats and shoes, tumbled forth, there were exclamations of delight and approval. "Oh, what a love of a hat! Do get out of the way, Ruth, so I can try it on;" this from Annabel. "And, oh, what a sweet organdy! Where did you get that white wool Peter Thompson? I've searched the town for one." Blue Bonnet turned from unwrapping something very dear to her to answer Sue.
But she reached the safe haven of Miss Towne's side before the bevy of multi-colored organdies entered the room. Kent was there. He had brought the pink organdy. He waved a gay hand to Lydia, who waved back, gaily too. Her cheeks were beginning to burn scarlet, partly because a real party was a wonderful thing and partly because of the multi-colored organdies. Charlie Jackson was there.
She was dressed in the sweetest dress of pale-pink organdy, with dozens of frills and elbow sleeves, and she looked just like a seraph. I really think I'd like to be a minister's wife when I grow up, Marilla. A minister mightn't mind my red hair because he wouldn't be thinking of such worldly things.
