CHAPTER XX.
GRANDMA ELSIE AND MAMMA VI.
Violet's toilet was finished.

She wore a white silk trimmed with a great deal of very rich lace, white flowers in her hair and at her throat, and looked very bridelike and beautiful.
So Lulu thought as she came dancing in, full of joyous excitement over her own unusual adornment.

Catching sight of Violet standing in front of her toilet-table turning over a box of ribbons, "Oh, how beautiful you are!" she cried, "and how very kind to let me wear these," glancing down at the ornaments on her own person.
"Let you wear them, dear child! I have given them to you for your own, and am looking now for ribbon for your hair to match the sash.

I had forgotten it.

Ah, here is just the thing!" "Given me these lovely, lovely bracelets and necklace! and this handsome sash too!" cried Lulu in wide-eyed astonishment.
