I hadn't thought about it. I suppose my gray flannel suit, or else a clean shirt-waist and duck skirt.

Those things will do very well for breakfast and luncheon, but everybody dresses here in the evening. Let me see what you can wear. You haven't got much, but I suppose that white muslin will do.

I don't think Mother would like to have me wear it the first evening. I won't have anything left for really grand occasions if I do.

Mamma is going to buy you a lot of new clothes; that was all arranged before you came. It would never do to have you going about everywhere in these things.
