noon
By good fortune , the weather was perfect , -- ideally pleasant and sunshiny , yet not too warm . Wistaria Porch was transformed into a veritable Fairyland , and it was a bewildering vision of flowers , flags and frivolity by day , and a blaze of illuminated gaiety by night . It was to last but two days , for , Patty said , they might hope for fair weather for that long but hardly for three days . It was to open at noon , and all the morning everybody was running about , doing last minute errands or attending to belated decorations . Azalea had the Indian booth . It was a wigwam , in effect , but it was so bedecked and ornamented that it is doubtful if a real Indian would have recognised it as one . However , it was filled with real Indian wares , and the beautiful baskets and pottery were sure to prove best sellers .
