Ethel. I do wonder if she really would prefer brown. What do you think, dear?
Maud. Well, it depends somewhat, I think, on how she is going to have it made.
Ethel. True. Well, I think she said in directoire.
Maud. Plain full skirt?
Ethel. Yes, smocked all around—no drapery at all.
Maud. Candidly, love, do you like a skirt without any drapery at all?
Ethel. Well, no, I can't say I do. Do you?
Maud. No. I like a little right in the back, you know—not too much. But I think a little takes off that dreadfully plain look. Don't you?
Ethel. Yes.
Maud. How are y— I mean how is she going to have the waist?
