Miss Theodosia, don't you feel all beautiful and jiggy inside?" "All beautiful and jiggy!" nodded Miss Theodosia, wondering a little whether it was all circus or some pink lemonade. "I like the wholeness of it best," Stefana said, taking in the animated scene with an artist's eye. "I don't! I like the every little speckness of it," Evangeline chirped.
What color dress did she have on? I've tried to remember." "Pink oh, pink!" sobbed Stefana, "but it was most washed out. It had two tucks let down, an' it was limpy in the skirt, behind the starch gave out." There were so many Evangelines, but it didn't seem as if there'd be another Evangeline limpy behind!
"Don't worry any more," she said; "you and I will work wonders with that Tract Man's shirt! Stefana, put the kettle on and we'll go to it! There's nothing two determined people can't do, once they've put their minds on it." Together they labored, and the impossible happened. Theodosia Baxter did up a man!
She had had time to remember her very strict injunctions to those to whom she entrusted her beloved white gowns to pull out the lace with careful fingers, not to iron it; to iron embroidered portions over many thicknesses of flannel, and never, never, never on the right side; to starch the dresses just enough and not too much. All these thoughts flashed through her mind while Stefana counted ten.
Ah! may some of the great ones of to-morrow spring from him and that adorable little Princess Celia, whom my niece Stefana, a sensible woman at bottom, brought to see me the other day. If you had seen that child fling her arms about me, call me endearing names, and tell me that I should be godfather to her first son, so that he might bear my name and once again save Italy!

But if Elly Precious is dead, I'll put wh-white ribbons on the h-handles!" With a moan, Stefana threw herself into the kind arms of Elly Precious' friend who loved him, too! "Hush, dear! Elly Precious isn't dead, but I hope he is asleep. Evangeline, I know, will take care of him. Let's trust Evangeline." "Maybe she's dead, too!" "Stefana! I'm disappointed. I thought you were a brave girl."
Stefana found him washin' his face 'free greatest' this mornin', so she let him .Quick, shut your ears! He's goin' off again!" 'But, this time, Miss Theodosia heard, unalarmed. To her own surprise, she listened almost enjoyingly. To be able to make a noise like that! The sheer vitality and youth of it compelled admiration.
Take him before I spill him! I'm so happy I joggle. She's knittin' an' she's comin' home! I mean knittin' enough. She said 'my dear children I expect to be home to-morrow Aunt Sarah is better an' I can't wait to see you your mother Mercy gracious, when Stefana got to your mother, seemed as if I'd burst! We hollered it to Carruthers, an' he burst!
An' they're beau-ti-fully done up!" sighed Stefana in gentle envy of some unknown artist in starch. "Now what?" demanded the man of the party at length. "Anybody want to stay here any longer? Or shall we discover new territory?" He took Evangeline aside and questioned her. "Have you seen everything out there?" indicating the attractions without the big tent. "We've seen a nawful lot.
