A LITTLE NONSENSE.
Little Girls Delightful Anticipation
More Than Realized.

This is the story they tell of a
cunning little tive-ycar-old girl
whose nurse had been promising her
all summer Il little coon doll when
the family reached the city if she
would be very good and obedient.
This was a delightful promise, and
the little girl was as good as IA little
fve-vear-old could be. Then the
family came back to the city it,
tie earlier than usual, and some
thing interesting happened - q
brand new baby came to the house.
1t was funny, red faced little
creature, which onl y loving moth
er and experienced nurse could pos
sibly consider beautiful. but it was
a great thing for the little girl, who
had never before in her short life
seen real live baby.
There is great surprise for
you," said the nurse. taking the
tive-year-old upstairs, where the lit.
tie new sister was lying snuggled up
under a canopy of muslin and rib
bons. "What do YOU think of that ?"
she continued, lifting the little girl
so that she could see the funny little
face on the white pillow. And the
little girl was as much pleased as
every one had expected she would
be. She gave the nurse a big hug
as she cried:
"Oh, nursie, is that my coon
doll New York Times.
