in estimating her proportions.
When the child was born she was thirteen
inches in height-about as long as the aver

circumstances play with. Her chest is about
three inches in width. That means that the
little girls chest is not so broad as the

head is but little larger than an ordinary

If 1t wern possible for tiny Miss Donaldson
to walk she would take steps hardly more
than half span in length. Her legs are
six inches long and her foot is an inch
and onC-balf in length. That is
shorter than the little finger of an ordinary
man.
If the tiny girl could stand erect a silver
half dollar would make platform more
than big enough for her, and she could walk
around comfortably in an ordinary glass tum-

Small Miss Donaldsons hands are one and
one-eighth inches across. Doubled up fists
they are not much bigger than a Malaga
