M OF THE HOUR.
No Sleep For Dolly.

Small Nancy. aged four, had a doll
to which she was devotedly attached.
1t could open and shut it's eyes, and
every night Nancy took it to bed with
her, carefully closing it's eyes before
the light was turned out. One day the
doll, as dolls from time immemorial
have been known to do, met with an
accident which placed the eye shutting
mechanism out of business and left it
with moi only widely and permanently
opened optics, but badly damaged ones
as we'll. At intervals during the re-
mainder Of the day Nancy pleaded to
have her dolly Cured" but nothing
a successful. AT bedtime, when she
had donned her nightdress and started
for her little bed, her mother saw she
had forgotten the doll and reminded
her Of ii, saying:
"But, Mamie, you've forgotten your
baby. She won't be able to sleep un-
less you take her to bed with you, as
usual"
To her mothers amused astonish-
ment, Nancy threw a half contemptu-
GUS look over her shoulder at the doll,
recumbent on a chair, and said:
ooh, what's the use? She can't sleep
anyway. Who ever heard of anybody
sleeping with their eyes wide open?'--
