Wanted-A Little Girl.
Where have they gone tO-the little girls,
With natural manners and natural curls,
Who love their dolIes and like their toys
And talk of something beside the boys?
Little old women in plenty, I find,
Mature in manner and old of mind;
Little old firts who talk of their "beauX,
And vie with each other in stylish clothes.
Little old bellies. who. at nine and ten,
Are sick of pleasure and tired OF men;
Weary Of travel, of balls, of fun,
And find no new thing under the sun.

for instance. She was paid $4,000 for the
American bookrights. and more for the
English rights, 1 believe, which would
make her receipts for that one book over
$4,000. For "Sir George Tressady," serial
and book rights, she will probably be paid
nearer $4,000 than $4,000. 1t has been
estimated that for the three novels, Rob

CELIA" she has been paid over 100000. An
