The great day came, and the evening of the day; and June dressed Daisy for the party.

This was a simple dressing, however, of a white cambrick frock; no finery, seeing that Daisy was to put on and off various things in the course of the evening.

But Daisy felt a little afraid of herself.
The perfected arrangements and preparations of the last few days had, she feared, got into her head a little; and when June had done and was sent away, Daisy kneeled down by her bedside and prayed a good while that God would help her not to please herself and keep her from caring about dress and appearance and people's flatteries.

And then she got up and looked very wistfully at some words of the Lord Jesus which Juanita had shewed her first and which she found marked by Mr.Dinwiddie's pencil.

"The Father hath not left me alone; _for I do always those things that please him_." Daisy was beginning to learn, that to please God, is not always to seek one's own gratification or that of the world.
