French babies are lively and vivacious

flesh that are characteristic of babies Of

they will hang their heads and try to
make you believe so. A French girl
baby is born coquette and is naughty
and audacious just to tease. When
scolded she tosses her pretty little head
with the sauciest air imaginable until
laughter brings the intended lecture to
