Sometimes they would sit me In the

that came along would look at me and
some would say. "Isent she beauty"
There were great meny other dolls
in the show-window with me. l felt
quite fattered because they all said l

One day little girl came along with
her mother and she said, 20, mama.
You must buy her for me-" 30 no.
dear: you don't need her; you have so
many dolls now.'' But the little miss
stomped her feet and screamed.
Than her mother said, ''we will go
into TIE store and see what the store
keeper asks for dolley." The store
keeper said, ''she Is worth five dollars.
81 q Ill take her at that price, said the
mother" Then l Was given to the little

And what do you think? The first
thing any body new the cat hal me by
the hair oh of all the kicking and pull
Ing aud before hegot through l though
that 7 wouldent have hair left in my
head.
Than my Mistress came in and said
scat you naughty cat you have
spoiled all of dolley's hair" Then she
glue-bottle was fetched in and my hair
was fastend on once more. l wernt

found me.
When my Mistress came home she
