Daisy, don't you suppose queens and ladies, like those in the pictures, _are_ always dressed so ?" "I suppose they put on nightgowns when they go to bed," said Ella Stanfield soberly.

"They can't _always_ be dressed so." "O but, I mean, when they are up.

And I dare say they wear beautiful nightgowns--Daisy, don't you think they do?
I dare say they have splendid lace and ribands; and you can make a white dress very handsome, if you put plenty of lace and ribands." "O it's gone!" exclaimed Jane and Ella.

The curtain had fallen.

The company clapped their hands and cheered.
"What's that for ?" said Nora.
"That means that they like it, I suppose," said Daisy.
