In a very few minutes I shall have it exchanged. Then how "flush" I shall be, and wont it seem strange!! New shoes & a muff it may be I'll get another wont they say she looks better yet than ever we've seen her! guess she will now do! just see how she puts out her pretty new shoe!! My (Jennie's) velvet cape must be relined & to fix that
