"You teach sewing? You have a sewing class? I didn't know you sewed."

"I—don't—much, but I can do enough for a class like I have. They're just making gymnasium suits, and we buy the pattern and I get along some way."

Drusilla laughed.

"Well, for a girl who has all her clothes made and keeps a maid to sew on her buttons, I think it is very nice of you to learn girls how to sew. You must be a great help in that work."

Daphne flushed.

"Now you're laughing at me, Miss Doane."

"No, I'm not laughin'; but it seems to me—how many girls you got in your class?"

"I have ten."

"How old are they?"

"About twelve to fourteen years."
