The mother writes to her sister and mentions that May does not seem to develop in accordance with her years. May's aunt replies that responsibilities and consideration for others usually come with the clothes that make a child feel that she has outgrown childish things, and to bring about this growth of mind, she sends the girl a long skirt, accompanied by a note to her niece, telling her that she must remember she is now past 15 and she is sure she will wear the skirt and become a helpful little woman of her years. May is delighted with the long skirt when she puts it on, but surprised when she goes out to the street and tries to join in the other children's games: they treat her as a young lady and look at her as too old to be in their company and refuse to play with her. Within a few days she is a young lady, taking her place in the household as the big sister and grown-up daughter, assisting her mother. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
