she found that the poor little things

and that there was something queer the
matter with her eyes.
The little girl smiled just as hard as
she could-it's a way she has when she

walked quietly along without word
She carried the broken doll tenderly
in her arms, and when she got home
she cried very hard.

wasn't so awfully pretty, but oh. she
was so sweet, and now tonight I'll have
no one to hold in my arms" Some one
told her about a dolls funeral. and for
little while the little girl fixed her
mind on that, but when the broken
doll was dressed in white and was laid
in a pretty box and covered with a
wreath of shining green leaves off of
the little bush in the garden the little
girl couldn't stand it, after all, and she
burst into an agony of miserable tears.
