his was a newtrouble to Cinderelli, who had to get up their fine linen and laces,and who never could please them, however much she endeavored todo so. They talked of nothing but their clothes. I, said the elder, shall wear my velvet gown and my trimmingsof English lace. And I, added the younger, will have but my ordinary silkpetticoat; but I shall adorn it with an upper skirt of flowered brocade,and shall put on my diamond tiara, which is a great deal finer thananything of yours Here the elder sister grew angry, and the dispute began to run sohigh, that Cinderella, who was known to have excellent taste, wascalled upon to decide between them. She gave them the best adviceshe could, and gently and meekly offered to dress them herself, andespecially to arrange their hair.

You are right: people wovdd only laugh to see a little cinder-wench at a ball.

When at lastthe happy moment arrived, Cinderella followed them to the coach.After it bad whirled them away, she sat down by the kitchen fire, andcried. Immediately her godmother, who was a fairy, appeared besideher. What are you crying for, my little maid? Oh, I wish—I wish— Her sobs stopped her. You wish to go to the ball, dont you? Cinder
