She asks her parents to assist her, but they are deeply engrossed in a chess game and do not wish to be disturbed. Diana stamps on the floor and insists. When they do no comply, she upsets the game by mixing it all up. They finally do their best to hook up Diana's dress and only succeed in breaking off most of their nails and bruising their augers on the hooks and eyes of lovely Diana's very tight-fitting gown. When Diana returns home at an early hour, she wakes up Father and her brother Harry to unhook her; she has difficulty in inducing them to get out of their warm beds, but they comply when she pulls off the covers and tickles their feet. The next morning at breakfast, Harry sees an article in the paper about women wearing Greek clothes and thinks what a capital idea for Diana to adopt the innovations: Greek clothes do not need to be hooked up. Diana thinks well of the idea, and at Mrs. Herves' ball she appears in a loose-flowing robe. She is the belle of the evening. So popular is she that she arouses the jealousy of Mrs. Herves and the other ladies. To get even with her, Mrs. Herves plans a Greek ball, and on the day of the dance she succeeds in getting possession of Diana's Greek robe, thinking to force her to come in plain clothes. The plan is frustrated by a Greek florist who overhears the plot and acquaints Diana with Mrs. Herves' trick. He suggests that Diana go to the ball attired in inexpensive material draped with natural flowers. She does so and is again the hit of the evening, the gypsy-like costume setting off her beauty to great advantage. The ladies look ridiculous in their Greek robes and only through Diana's kindness do they get any dances. She makes the women realize their conduct has been childish. When she goes, she mischievously leaves the Greek florist's note in which he warned her of the plot. When Mrs. Herves reads it she is vexed and chagrined.
