It IS a boofy frock, isn't it, Nansome? Patty craned her head over her shoulder, as she waited for her stepmother's response, which was only, Yes. Oh, my gracious, Nan! Enthuse! Don't you know half the fun in life is enthusiasm? What shall I say? asked Nan, laughing. Oh, say it's a peach! a hummer! a lallapaloosa! Patty, Patty! what language! Oh, yes; I forgot I meant to stop using slang. But when any one is so lukewarm in her admiration as you are, forcible language is called for. Well, it certainly is a lovely gown, and you never looked prettier. There! since you are fishing for compliments, are you pleased now? Patty was far from being conceited over her pretty face, but she honestly liked admiration, and, indeed, she was accustomed to receive it from all who knew her. At the present moment, she was standing before a long mirror in her boudoir, putting the last touches to her new party toilette. Louise, the maid, stood by, with a fur-trimmed wrap, and Patty drew on her long gloves with a happy smile of anticipation. I just feel sure I'm going to have a good time to-night, she said; it's a presentiment or premonition, or whatever you call it.
