Were they preparing Ginty for matrimony? She's a little young. Or even Karen?
I think in both cases when they got new clothes, it was actually more a case of necessity, rather than that they were being displayed on the marriage market. Mrs. Marlow's distress the following Easter shows she didn't really consider Karen ready to marry.
