"One?" Kitty echoed, and would have continued scathingly had not Sarah interrupted with—
"I don't see how we can go to church with such looking clothes."
"Sarah's regretting the white piqué skirt you wouldn't let her bring," said Kitty.
"Why, Sarah," Blue Bonnet turned a pained look on the serious young person, "I would never have believed you would be one to stay away from church for lack of an Easter bonnet."
"I didn't mention Easter—nor bonnets either," Sarah declared indignantly. "The idea,—to hear you girls talk any one would think I was completely wrapped up in clothes!"
"Everybody is, you know—except savages," returned Blue Bonnet.
Sarah's expression at this caused Mrs. Clyde to rise hurriedly and vanish within her tent. Freed from this restraint Kitty went on wickedly:
"Anyway, Dr. Judson has been a missionary in Africa and I'm sure he'd excuse you if—"
Sarah left the table with great dignity, leaving the other girls weak with laughter.
Carita appeared a little later with her denim dress looking fresh, clean, and wrinkleless.
