When mine is cut so that it cannot possibly do for Ruth, I shall have hers sent. I can hardly wait for the day, she said, with the delight of a child.

Please cut my skirt before then, Miss Smithers, for Ruth will think it coarse and insist upon my sending it back, unless it is cut. But it will make up quite prettily, and in winter no one notices the quality of your dress.

There, isn't it pretty, Ruth?

Yes, very, but it is extremely coarse, Agnes. Why didn't you get a _good_ dress? You have enough second-best ones for this winter.

Well, if you like it, and as long as it is cut, there is no use in making you dislike it. It is all well enough if it were not such a poor quality.
