Fashion Fanny and Her Gypsy
Costume
POLLY was at the station to meet Fashion
Fanny when she alighted from the train,
and in an instant she was at her side.
“Oh Fanny!” she cried, “I’m so glad you’ve
come. Something ever so nice is going to hap
pen tonight. Something you’ll be just wild
about!”
“Oh do tell me!” implored Fashion Fanny.
But all the way home in the machine Polly
was silent concerning the events of the com
ing evening, and it was not until they were in
the house and Polly’s mother had kissed her
little niece and had told her how glad she was
to have her spend the week with them, that
Polly consented to disclose her secret.
“It’s a lawn fete tonight up in the park,
and you and I are to have charge of the
pond. See, this is the dress you are to wear.
Mamma made it specially for you.”
Spread out on the bed in Polly’s room lay
the prettiest red gypsy costume with cap,
beads and tambourine all complete, and Fash
ion Fanny lost no time in slipping out of her
green linen dress with its trimming of drawn
work and putting on the bewitching gypsy
costume.
Indeed, she could hardly wait for evening
to come, and though she thought all the aftcr
noon of the wonderful time in store for her,
when the event really arrived it proved to bo
more excuing even than she had dreamed.
Next week we’ll learn of the visitors whom she met on her return to her
city home. You’ll have to decide for yourselves whether they were as niea
as Fashion Fanny thought they would ha.
