but could not get the pretty blue thing.
Just then mamma came In. why, Doro-

covers ali off Of your cradle. Papa, come
here. Look at the darling" For baby was

discovery Of that pretty blue thing.
Then she thought mamma could help her
and she stretched her small, short arms

Papa lifted his little daughter out 81 her
cradle and let her play with the blue thing

up at it
After a bit she got tired Of looking at the
blue thing and fell asleep
The next morning she was taken Up in
Auntie Blanche arms Then Auntie
Blanche sat down and put the baby on
her knee and said 10 the baby.

today? Oh you dear baby" she added, as
the baby looked up into her face and ac-
tually made little noise that was meant
for a laugh.
of course, mamma and papa had TO be
called and told all about it After which
they both kissed her. But the baby didn't
know what Aunue Blanche meant when
she said that her cousins were coming.
But che did know that she was now in
mammals arms and so baby patted
mammals cheeks with her soft, fat hands.
But cousins did come that very afternoon
ami Dorothea saw them.
But she didn't like them because she
had never seen anybody else that she could
remember but grandma. Auntle Blanche,

little lips and hid her head in mammss
