"Oh, you can't get exclusive models there!" and Alicia's face wore a
reproving expression.

"No," said outspoken Dolly, "but we don't wear exclusive models. We're
rather inclusive, I expect."

"You're a duck!" cried Alicia, who, though ultra-fashionable herself,
liked the honesty and frankness of the two D's.

They reached the shop in question, and the four girls went in.

The Berwick girls were a little awed at the atmosphere of the place,
but Alicia was entirely mistress of the situation. She had many
costumes and accessories shown to her, and soon became as deeply
absorbed in their contemplation as Dolly had been in the Museum
exhibits.

"Why, for goodness' sake!" cried Bernice, at last. "Are you going to
buy out the whole shop, Alicia?"

"Why, I'm not going to buy any," returned Alicia, looking surprised;
"I'm just shopping, you know."

"Oh, is that it? Well, let me tell you it isn't any particular fun for
us to look on while you 'shop'! And, anyway, it's time to be going
home, or we'll be late for the luncheon and for the matinee."

"All right, I'll go now. But wait. I want to buy some little thing for
you girls,--sort of a souvenir, you know."
