A little kindness from anyone makes young Miss Fox-Seton glow. Now she has just pleased herself with a nice idea: how to make her plain, brown dress look a bit closer to the new style for the year -- for her dress must last longer, since she has hardly a penny to her name.

And now she takes joy in the new invitation -- for that sharp-tongued Lady Maria Bayne had just invited her to the country!
