Rules For Dolls.

"A wooden headed doll should be
careful not to hit her head against her
mother lest she hurt her"
"A doll should keep away from the
rocking chairs. as the rockers may
crush her.
"A wax doll should avoid the fire if
she wishes to preserve 4 good com
plexion."
"Often an old doll with cracked
head and sweet smile is more be-
loved than Il new doll with sour
face"
1T is a bad plan for dolls to be
stretched out on the floor. as people
are apt to tread upon them. and ii doll
that is trodden on is snre to 60 into q
decline"
Marjorie was reading these rules to
her dolly with very sober face. Then
she laughed. Dolly" said she. Its
funny. but i really believe that these
rules are more for me than they are
for you Our Little Ones.
