The simple and natural way of doing a thing generally turns out the easiest.

Clover helped Katy to put on the wedding-gown of soft crape and creamy white silk.

It was trimmed with old lace and knots of ribbon, and Katy wore with it two or three white roses which Ned had brought her, and a pearl pendant which was his gift.

Then Clover had to go downstairs to receive the guests, and see that Cousin Helen's sofa was put in the right place; and Rose, who remained behind, had the pleasure of arranging Katy's veil.

The yellow-white of the old blonde was very becoming, and altogether, the effect, though not "stylish," was very sweet.
