“I can hardly wait for morning!” cried Nancy enthusiastically some minutes later, as they settled down for sleep.
“Moms, we’re going downtown this morning,” said Nancy at the breakfast table.
She had already telephoned Jeanette the good news, and secured a promise of her company for the day.
“We have a lot to do,” she went on; “and if you don’t mind, I think we’ll have lunch at Sloan’s.”
“Of course, I don’t mind in the least. But you are not going to buy your fall outfit so early, I hope.”
“No,” laughed Nancy. “I need a summer one first; but I want to talk over my wardrobe with you first. Emma is going to do the shopping to-day——”
“Don’t tell her! Don’t tell her!” begged Emma. “Let’s surprise her.”
“All right,” agreed Nancy, as they arose from the table. “Hurry and get ready. I told Janie we’d stop for her at half-past eight, and it’s twenty after now.”
It was a little after eight thirty when the three girls turned out of the Grant yard, and headed for the near-by car line. The car was crowded, and they could not get seats together; so there was no further opportunity for conversation until they got off on Main Street.
“Where first?” inquired Jeanette.
