"A stitch in time saves nine." "O Pris, Pris, I'm really going! Here's the invitation—rough paper—Chapel—spreads—Lyceum Hall—everything splendid; and Jack to take care of me!" As Kitty burst into the room and performed a rapturous pas seul, waving the cards over her head, sister Priscilla looked up from her work with a smile of satisfaction on her quiet face. "Who invites you, dear?" "Why, Jack, of course,—dear old cousin Jack. Nobody else ever thinks of me, or cares whether I have a bit of pleasure now and then. Isn't he kind? Mayn't I go? and, O Pris, what shall I wear?" Kitty paused suddenly, as if the last all-important question had a solemnizing effect upon both mind and body. "Why, your white muslin, silk sacque, and new hat, of course," began Pris with an air of surprise. But Kitty broke in impetuously,— "I'll never wear that old muslin again; it's full of darns, up to my knees, and all out of fashion. So is my sacque; and as for my hat, though it does well enough here, it would be absurd for Class Day." "You don't expect an entirely new suit for this occasion,—do you?" asked Pris, anxiously. "Yes, I do, and I'll tell you how I mean to get it. I've planned everything; for, though I hardly dreamed of going, I amused myself by thinking how I could manage if I did get invited." "Let us hear." And Pris took up her work with an air of resignation. "First, my dress," began Kitty, perching herself on the arm of the sofa, and entering into the subject with enthusiasm. "I've got the ten dollars grandpa sent me, and with eight of it I'm going to buy Lizzie King's organdie muslin. She got it in Paris; but her aunt providentially—no, unfortunately—died; so she can't wear it, and wants to get rid of it. She is bigger than I am, you know; so there is enough for a little mantle or sacque, for it isn't made up. The skirt is cut off and gored, with a splendid train—" This edition includes - A complete biography of Louisa May Alcott. - Table of contents with directs links to chapters.

KITTY'S CLASS DAY AND OTHER STORIES Louisa May Alcott 9781520359069 Books Reviews
This same book was released as Proverb Stories.
eBook downloaded free from Gutenberg. Collection of sweet stories with a high moral tone. Contains Kitty's Class Day, Aunt Kipp, Psyche's Art, A Country Christmas, On Picket Duty, The Baron's Gloves, My Red Cap, and What the Bells Saw and Said.
You might need a dose of insulin after reading these stories, but if you're in the mood for old-fashioned romances, this collection is just the ticket. Sometimes Alcott wears me out with her fulsome praise of modest girls with housewifely skills, but the preaching in most of these tales is done by the characters' lives rather than a heavy-handed author, and the characters themselves are lively and realistically flawed. Only "A Country Christmas" went over the line into sappy and silly. None of them are particularly plausible, of course. "What the Bells Saw and Said" is a clever political fantasy and homage to Dickens, not Alcott's usual style at all. I didn't notice many word errors.
There was a good range of stories, but not a page-turner! I do recommend this book, for people who enjoy classics
