`` Let us hear . '' And Pris took up her work with an air of resignation . `` First , my dress , '' began Kitty , perching herself on the arm of the sofa , and entering into the subject with enthusiasm . `` I 've got the ten dollars grandpa sent me , and with eight of it I 'm going to buy Lizzie King 's organdie muslin . She got it in Paris ; but her aunt providentially -- no , unfortunately -- died ; so she ca n't wear it , and wants to get rid of it . She is bigger than I am , you know ; so there is enough for a little mantle or sacque , for it is n't made up . The skirt is cut off and gored , with a splendid train -- '' `` My dear , you do n't mean you are going to wear one of those absurd , new-fashioned dresses ? '' exclaimed Pris , lifting hands and eyes . `` I do ! Nothing would induce me to go to Class Day without a train . It 's been the desire of my heart to have one , and now I will , if I never have another gown to my back ! '' returned Kitty , with immense decision . Pris shook her head , and said , `` Go on ! '' as if prepared for any extravagance after that . `` We can make it ourselves , '' continued Kitty , `` and trim it with the same . It 's white with blue stripes and daisies in the stripes ; the loveliest thing you ever saw , and ca n't be got here . So simple , yet distingué , I know you 'll like it . Next , my bonnet , '' -- here the solemnity of Kitty 's face and manner was charming to behold . `` I shall make it out of one of my new illusion undersleeves . I 've never worn them ; and the puffed part will be a plenty for a little fly-away bonnet of the latest style .
I 've got blue ribbons to tie it with , and have only to look up some XXXXX for the inside .
