may rashly assert that will be at such

that baby grows heavy and that must let the
nurse carry her more, even If she does whim-

speech? unless it be ioreordaned that her
dmped white feet shall always and externally

were rag-baby. / can't. 1t is ridiculous, too
that no force of reason can persuade me, that
anybody can wash her softly enough but my

dressing, save mine, can avail TO tie her little
bonnet or cloak right, or button her little red
boots so that no fold of her mite of a stocking
