JANUARY 13, 1860

Jasmine was getting the dress shop ready for the busy weeks that were ahead. The Valentines Dance was coming around the corner and she knew that meant young lady�s and their moms would be coming in for new dresses, alterations and things added and taken off the dress would be required. The men would also be coming in looking for suites and some would need alterations.

Desiree was the first customer for the day. Jasmine welcomed her as she walked in and let her know that if she had any questions that she could ask. Jasmine noticed that Desiree was looking at the material and couldn't find what she was looking for.

"Desiree may I help you with something?"

"Actually, yes, I was looking for some material that came from Europe, but I don't see any here."

"Well we don't have any yet. I could order it from the catolague for you if you�d like. It would be months though before it would come in and if you wanted it for a Valentine dress it would be to late."

Desiree was furious that Jasmine didn�t have the material that she wanted. She had her heart set on material from Europe for her dress. So without another word she stormed out of the shop.

After about an hour of fuming because she wouldn�t be able to have the dress she wanted, Desiree calmed down and made her way back to Jasmine�s Boutique.

Desiree looked around and saw many pretty party dresses. Noticing Jasmine silently watching her, Desiree wanted to make amends with Jasmine, so she said, "I�m sorry about my rudeness earlier. I�m sure there are lots of pretty dresses here that will be just right for me."

Jasmine replied, "I can always order the material later and have a dress made for your for another ocation."

"That would be perfect."

"Great, well then you just let me know when you want that material and I will order it for you. When you pick out a dress just bring it to me and we will see if you need alterations. Also if you want I can make any changes to the dress if you would like."

"Thanks Jasmine."

"Your welcome. I hope you find a dress that you like and I am really sorry for not having the material from Europe that you wanted."

"It's ok, your dresses are just as nice."

Jasmine went back to fix some more things in the shop and let Desiree look around. She really felt bad that she didn't have the material for Desiree but Jasmine felt much better now that Desiree wasn�t mad.
