The conversation then changed to what they would wear, for to all of them the coming occasion was one of the most important of their lives.
"What will you wear?" asked Mary Lee. She was excited over what the two friends intended to wear even though she knew that she herself would have to wear her party dress which was a simple little white organdie with a pink sash. She was thankful though she had a leghorn hat with pink streamers. Her white canvas slippers with lisle stockings would have to do.
"What do you girls think of my wearing my pink crepe-de-chine dress and my new pink hat with those pretty rosebuds and foliage encircling the crown, and pink slippers and stockings?" asked Letty.
"I know I am not going to be anywhere up to you, Letty. I can only wear my white dress over pink China silk and a white hat with a very pale pink bow, and white buckskin slippers with white silk stockings," said Ruth.
"Well, no matter what we may wear," said Letty, "Mary Lee will be the prettiest of us all. Tell us your plans, Mary Lee," she added.
"Mine are very simple, for it isn't hard to decide when you haven't many things to pick from," was the unembarrassed answer. "I haven't much else than my white organdie party dress."
After discussing what they would wear at the wedding the girls next talked over their plans for school the coming fall.
"The nicest part of it all is that you are to stay with me," said Letty to Mary Lee.
Just then there was a shout from the boys who were on the other side of the brook, so the girls hurried forward to meet them.
It was now after five o'clock and time to go home. Bob and Mary Lee managed to walk along together.
