"Oh!" said Octavia, "I dare say she is very nice, and all that; but I don't believe I should care to copy her dresses. I think I should draw the line there." But she said it without any ill nature; and, sensitive as Miss Belinda was upon the subject of her cherished ideals, she could not take offence. OH SAID OCTAVIA I DARE SAY SHE IS VERY NICE AND ALL THAT BUT I DON'T BELIEVE I SHOULD CARE TO COPY HER DRESSES I THINK I SHOULD DRAW THE LINE THERE BUT SHE SAID IT WITHOUT ANY ILL NATURE AND SENSITIVE AS MISS BELINDA WAS UPON THE SUBJECT OF HER CHERISHED IDEALS SHE COULD NOT TAKE OFFENCE
eflect upon the matter a few seconds, "I've got one that would do, if it's warm enough to wear it. I bought it in New York, but it came from Paris. I've never worn it yet." "It would be nicer than any thing else, my love," said Miss Belinda, delighted to find her difficulty so easily disposed of. "Nothing is so charming in the dress of a young girl as pure simplicity. Our Slowbridge young ladies rarely wear any thing but white for evening. Miss Chickie assured me, a few weeks ago, that she had made fifteen white-muslin dresses, all after one simple design of her own." "I shouldn't think that was particularly nice, myself," remarked Octavia impartially. "I should be glad one of the fifteen didn't belong to me. I should feel as if people might say, when I came into a room, 'Good gracious, there's another!'" "The first was made for Miss Lucia Gaston, who is Lady Theobald's niece," replied Miss Belinda mildly. "And there are few young ladies in Slowbridge who would not emulate her example.
