bell. and a small girl entered with a box.
Into this box she put the doll carefully on
its back in such n way AS not TO muss or
rumple her beautiful pink dress. Then
she put on the cover and fastened it in
place with stout bit of Irvine and wrote
on il:
Eva Williams, Santa Barbara, Califor-
mia, at the same time saying to the girl,
Put that in the southern California
stall"
The girl disappeared with the doll under
her arm, ara no sooner was she out of
sight than another girl popped in at the
opposite end ot the room and handed the
old lady another doll.
II his" she said, as she loo ed it over
sis a doll for a poor child. 1t is made of
common china-that is, the head and bust
are, and the rest of her is linen and saw
dust But it will probably make the poor
girl quite as happy as the handsome wax
doll will the daughter of the rich man"
Then she dressed the doll in calico and q
gingham hood, and when she was finished
and put in a box, which was addressed
Emily Lum, WatsesSng, y. j., in popped
anot 1er girl, who as quickly disappeared
with the instructions to put it in the New
Jersey bin.
The old lady was always in excellent
spirits, and appeared to take as much
genuine delight in making presents for the
poor and rich alike as many persons find in
bestowing gifts entirely upon the wealthy,
and when she had dispatched the little girl
with the doll to be put in the New Jersey
bin she called for her books, and when they
were brought she adjusted her glasses and
said:
I'VE have got to hurry as much as pos
sible or we shall neglect some of our little
friends. Russia has not been touched yet
and the state of New York is in the same
condition, with the exception of Callicoon
and Painted Post. ! am very sorry we are
so far behind, and the summer almost
gone 700. Come, come, don't stand around
looking at each other, but hurry. hurry,

As he two little girls were moving away,
she continued:
Dolls, dolls, dolls, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Bring up ninety-nine cheap dolls and one
expensive one, as there is but one wealthy
girl to ninety nine poor ones"
AND off popped the little girls in great
haste, and no sooner were they gone than
back they came skipping with a clothes
baske brimful of dolls between them The
old lady smiled pleasantly when the bas-
ketful OF dolls was deposited at her feet,
and lost no time in commencing the opera
ton o. adjusting the dresses of which she
had great variety n every bureau drawer.

There was something miraculously swift
in the manner in which the old lady
dressed the dolls. She seemed as though
under spell of enchantment. for she sang
songs and kept time with her needle, that
flashed in the, light as she piled it to and
fro. When she had finished about the
fiftieth doll in the basket. she exclaimed:
ut Is now August and | am so far in
arrears with this work that | cannot
take the time to go to dinner. There

tea" One of the plumpest of the little
girls brought the tea as requested and

two of she was enabled to work faster
than ever. Finally she dressed the last
one in the basket, and when they were all
boxed and addressed some one rang the
doorbell.

The little girl backed out of the room, and
then the old lady smiled pleasant smile
while working away with renewed energy.
Even " hen she came to a Japanese doll,
which she did occasionally, she dressed it
with much skill as a Jap could have
done. She never paused in her work upon
the day when she reflected that it was late
in August, with Russia untouched and
New York in the same condition, with the
exception of the towns of Callicoon and
Painted Post, until an expressman called
with large load of dry goods to be con
verified into dolls dresses.
Then she paused long enough To examine
the gooos contained in the package. and
she smiled as only a woman can smile
while examining silks and satins. or even

down all around and over everything. The first
thought that came into my mind was that one
of the big safes in one Of the larger Offices up

of us have been expecting a general collapse. l
