Comfortable and attractive is the little girl with the gingham dress, big rough-and-ready straw hat, and tan shoes and stockings. But the other poor child is dressed up in cast-off finery of her mother's, in hopeless imitation of her big sister. Her hat is much too old for her and so over trimmed that it looks like a lamp-shade, while her general appearance is that of being dressed out of the scrap basket.
