In fact as she thought about It she couldnt think of anything she had ever had that was quite, quite new. Not that all her things were shabby. No Indeed. Often they were In the very best condition. But they werent new. Nor were they of her choosing. Hazel had many cousins. She was not particularly happy about this. The cousins all had lots of money, but really If any one had ever asked Hazel about It she would have said they didnt have such very good taste. For instance they were very fond of brown and such an ugly shade of brown. And brown, somehow, never seemed to wear out. Hazel had had that brown dress for three years now and It would do for picnics for a fourth season. But Hazel couldnt bear the thought of wearing that brown dress to picnics. She never felt happy in that brown dress and she loved picnics. It was trimmed with great huge wide wnite trimmings all over the front, and it was of some material that just wouldnt wear out Her mother had said to her; You should he a very grateful little girl to have good kind cousins who . statement describ-in- g her condition, for, according to hep letters, she was sub jected to no small amount of ill health.

All of that was very true, and of course Hazel was grateful, and yet how often she wished that she had Just two dresses instead of the five or six she was given just two, op even one dress of her own. She wouldnt care if they were cheap materials just so long as they were a little bit pretty wlmt she called pretty and so they looked well on her. It wasnt that she was vain. She knew she wasnt a pretty child. But she knew she could look better in some colors than others. That shade of brown made her look so pale and washed out and stupid. Yes, that shade of brown made her look stupid. Then pale lavendar with, lots of frills was a favorite party color of the cousins and that was unbecoming to her, very, very unbecoming.

It had been decided In 'ool that all the children should dress in dark blue middy suits with white ties and white yokes. Her dress was made. It was made of the cheapest material. But oh. how she loved it. She looked like the others. She felt It was becoming to her. Her mother said : My, you can tell the difference between that cheap dress and the good dresses that are given to her." But Hazel loved It. It was a new dress, nnd It seemed entirely to belong to her. And every night when she took off the dress she would speak to it, and sometimes even pat it.
