"Patty, do come along and get your luncheon before everything grows cold!""'And the stars are old, And the leaves of the judgment book unfold, '" chanted Patty, whohad just learned this new song, and was apt to sing it at unexpected moments. She sat onthe floor in the middle of the long drawing-room of her New York home. To say she wassurrounded by flowers, faintly expresses it. She was hemmed in, barricaded, nearlysmothered in flowers.They were or had been in enormous florist's boxes, and as fast as Patty opened the boxesand read the cards which accompanied the blossoms, Jane took the boxes away.It was the great occasion of Patty's début, and in accordance with the social custom, all herfriends had sent her flowers as a message of congratulation."You certainly have heaps of friends," said Elise, who was helping arrange the bouquets."Friends!" cried Patty; "nobody could have as many friends as this! These flowers must bealso from my enemies, my casual acquaintances, and indeed from utter strangers! I thinkthe whole hilarious populace of New York has gone mad on the subject of sending flowers!"Even as she spoke, Jane came in with several more boxes, followed by Miller, fairlystaggering under an enormous box that was almost too much for one man to carry. Behindhim was Nan, who went straight to Patty and held out both hands to assist her to rise."Patty," she said, "if you don't come out this minute, you never can get out! A few more ofthese boxes, and the door will be completely blocked up.""That's so, Nan," and Patty scrambled to her feet. "Come on, girls, let's gather our foodingswhile we may. These flowers will keep; but I shudder to think of the accumulation when wecome back from luncheon!"
