She sees Ashley kiss Melanie as he goes off to enlist and agrees to marry Charles. He dies during the first few months of the war from pneumonia and Scarlett becomes a widow and a mother at age 17.
8. Why does Melanie agree to go to the Bazaar?

Answer: To help raise money for The Cause

The girls who were originally going to run the booth got sick and Melanie agreed to do it because the booth was small and ugly and would be at the back of the room where few people would even notice them.
9. What did Melanie give Ashley for Christmas?

Answer: A new jacket

The jacket was actually a little short because she ran out of fabric, but Ashley of course liked it nonetheless.
10. Where did Melanie get the fabric for Ashley's Christmas present?

Answer: A friend sent it to her

A wounded soldier she was nursing in the hospital died and she sent his mother, who lived in Charleston, a lock of his hair. The mother was touched and she and Melanie built up an aquaintance and when she learned Melanie had a husband in the war, the boy's mother sent her the fabric for a jacket.
