Kitty and Dorothy wore light green dresses trimmed with pink paper roses, and were very pretty little princesses; while Rosy Posy as Maid of Honor wore one of her own little white frocks, tied up lavishly with blue ribbons. Flip Henderson's costume was a good deal like King's, as he had purposely copied it, not having any other design to work from. Mrs. Maynard and Miss Hart were not so fancifully attired as the younger members of the party, but they wore pretty light gowns with more or less floral decoration. The whole affair was impromptu; the children had spent the morning getting it up, and now were going to devote the afternoon to the party itself. "We must make a procession," began Marjorie, who was mistress of ceremonies; "you must go first, Mother, because the May Queen Dowager is the most honorable one." "Me go first, too," announced Rosy Posy, taking her mother's hand. "Yes, you may," said Marjorie. "In fact, Baby, you'd better go first of all, because you're Maid of Honor; and so you walk in front of the Queen Dowager." So Rosy Posy toddled ahead, followed by Mrs. Maynard, who carried a wand of flowers with gracious effect. |
