Patty's Summer Days

A GAY HOUSEHOLD Isn't Mrs. Phelps too perfectly sweet! That is the loveliest fan I ever laid eyes on, and to think it's mine! And will you look at this? A silver coffee-machine! Oh, Nan, mayn't I make it work, sometimes? Indeed you may; and oh, see this! A piece of antique Japanese bronze! Isn't it great? I don't like it as well as the sparkling, shiny things. This silver tray beats it all hollow. Did you ever see such a brightness in your life? Patty, you're hopelessly Philistine! But that tray is lovely, and of an exquisite design.
