more and more intimate, and at the end of
the summer ner family left their house in
the country and took a house in town,
which was just on the opposite side of the
street from mine.
But before that l had delightful visit
from Miss Anna. Birdie and / pretended
that she was obliged to visit some fashion,
able mineral springs after her measles. So |
carried her to my house in town and kept
her there, l think l wrote one Or two let
ters from her to her mother describing her
gay life at Montvale or White Sulphur. But
the truth was that Miss Ann was really
with me and ] was making her some new
things to wear. l remember there were some
pocket handkerchiefs among them, and
when she went back to Riverside she was
looking very we'll aud much improved by
the mineral waters. 1t was after her fam
lily had taken possession of the town house
that | nearly made q fearful error in speaks
ing of Miss Anna to her mother.
Birdie was sitting in a swing in the gar
den and | was on a low seat near her, and
in speaking of Miss Annals many accom-
plishments, | said: 'Shs is the incest doll
l ever knew"
The most startled expression came into
her sentative little face and she put up her
hand as ii to stop me.
ION, don't, Mrs, Burnett, she exclaimed.
oh, please hush! Never say she is q doll.

Would it reallyY" 7 said. "I'm 80 sorry
| said it. She didn't hear it, though. She
Is IN her room asleep"
Miss Anna doesn't know she's a doll,''
said Birdie. ''She never dreams it. She
thinks she is just like us. and l could not
bear to have he's find out That her head is
made of china-or that it seems like that to
people who don't love her. 1t isn't china
to me-and neither are her arms kid-bu.

Never again was ! guilty Of inferring that
Miss Ann WAS a ~doll-nsver 40 long ia [

DRY.
1t interested me very much to read after
wards in one of Miss Phelps books of \
little girl who expressed exactly Birdie's
idea, and | wonderea if perhaps Miss
Phelps hal not heard it from a real child
as 1 did.
1t was very absorbing when Boy Was in

self. BRIDES experience as a parent was
very useful to me in my first ventul Q, and
she had 4 very good opinion OF Boy, though

right shape and size and white enough and
sparkling enough to make a table. She said
the sparkles were really diamonds, and the
fairies did not like chairs or tables without
diamonds. The plates and dishes were made
of small curled rose petals, and the cups
for the fairy wine (Which was dew, Birdie
told mel were the cups of the tiniest flowers
we could find. 1t WAS very pretty when it
was all finished, and then we prepared the
bedroom in the hollow of the tree. That
was carpetsd with leaves, and had moss
beds and pillows for Roseleaf and Bios

ing that it made nae wish to be a fairy my
self, but that was nothing new. because I

was quite satisfied when we left the tree,
and on our way back to the house We
talked in the most animated way of what
the fairies would say when they saw our
preparations for them, and what they would
do, and how much they would like us for
being SO friendly. H.
