"I'm 'coming out' in the barn next summer, Muddy!" Nancy called to her mother, who just then entered the door. "If we are poorer than ever, we can take up a collection to defray the expenses; Julia and Kitty would look so attractive going about with tambourines! I'M COMING OUT IN THE BARN NEXT SUMMER MUDDY NANCY CALLED TO HER MOTHER WHO JUST THEN ENTERED THE DOOR IF WE ARE POORER THAN EVER WE CAN TAKE UP A COLLECTION TO DEFRAY THE EXPENSES JULIA AND KITTY WOULD LOOK SO ATTRACTIVE GOING ABOUT WITH TAMBOURINES
ome out' here next summer!" "You'll be only seventeen; you can't come out!" objected Julia conventionally. "Not in a drawing room, perhaps, but perfectly well in a barn. Even you and Kitty, youthful as you will still be, can attend my coming out party, in a barn!" "It doesn't seem proper to think of giving entertainments when everybody knows our circumstances,--how poor we are!" Julia said rebukingly. "We are talking of next summer, my child! Who can say how rich we shall be next summer? A party could be given in this barn with mother to play the piano and Mr. Popham the fiddle. The refreshments would be incredibly weak lemonade, and I think we might 'solicit' the cake, as they do for church sociables!" Julia's pride was wounded beyond concealment at this humorously intended suggestion of Nancy's. "Of course if Aunt Margaret approves, I have nothing to say," she remarked, "but I myself would never come to any private party where refreshments were 'solicited.' The very idea is horrible.  YOU CAN DEBUT WHEN YOU LIKE BUT I SHALL COME OUT HERE NEXT SUMMER YOU'LL ONLY BE SEVENTEEN YOU CAN'T COME OUT OBJECTED JULIA CONVENTIONALLY NOT IN A DRAWING ROOM PERHAPS BUT PERFECTLY WELL IN A BARN EVEN YOU AND KITTY YOUTHFUL AS YOU WILL STILL BE CAN ATTEND MY COMING OUT PARTY IN A BARN IT DOESN'T SEEM PROPER TO THINK OF GIVING ENTERTAINMENTS WHEN EVERYBODY KNOWS OUR CIRCUMSTANCES HOW POOR WE ARE JULIA SAID REBUKINGLY WE ARE TALKING OF NEXT SUMMER MY CHILD WHO CAN SAY HOW RICH WE SHALL BE NEXT SUMMER A PARTY COULD BE GIVEN IN THIS BARN WITH MOTHER TO PLAY THE PIANO AND MISTER POPHAM THE FIDDLE THE REFRESHMENTS WOULD BE INCREDIBLY WEAK LEMONADE AND I THINK WE MIGHT SOLICIT THE CAKE AS THEY DO FOR CHURCH SOCIABLES JULIA'S PRIDE WAS WOUNDED BEYOND CONCEALMENT AT THIS HUMOROUSLY INTENDED SUGGESTION OF NANCY'S OF COURSE IF AUNT MARGARET APPROVES I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY SHE REMARKED BUT I MYSELF WOULD NEVER COME TO ANY PRIVATE PARTY WHERE REFRESHMENTS WERE SOLICITED THE VERY IDEA IS HORRIBLE
