while it was well furnished for those days they did not have electric lights. or stairs, for it was made from a drawer that was very long and wide. It stood on an end, and had shelves fitted in it for floors.
 Now Annette's little mother decided | that it was not we'll for Annette to live | alone, and one morning she went to a | store and bought the manifest doll she could find, and brought it home, and although the dolls hair was light and parted in the middle, the little girls aunt, who was an artist, painted it black, and added the most wonder full mustache, so that the storekeeper himself would never have recognized the light-haired doll he sold to the little girl.
 Ferdinand, for that was the name they gave him, was provided with black dress suit and a dressing gown, and then he was introduced to An nette, who blushed and shook her curls, and tried to appear very indif- ferent. But her heart beat very fast, and it was a case of love at first sight with both of them.
 The next day they were married. Annette wore a white tarlatan dress, with tiny white flowers in her hair, which held her long veil in place. She carried a bouquet of white flowers. The bridegroom looked very sedate in his new suit, although he must have been nervous, for he dropped the ring, which was a band of gold paper, and had to be assisted in putting it upon his brides finger. But at last they were married and went to ride in the park on their honeymoon trip. An nette wore a blue velvet turban and a blue cloth dress, and Ferdinand s coat was fastened together and covered his white vest.
 | I am sorry to, say that he did not wear a hat, for there was not one to be found that looked at all manly. All went well with them for a while. Ferdinand built the fire in the morn ing, and did not find fault with An nettes cooking, although sometimes the fried eggs looked very much like white buttons and the bacon like brown paper and the coffee was very watery.
 But one morning Ferdinand did not get up to build the fire, and Annette said that she would not build it Ii she stayed in bed all day. When An, nette's mother came she found both of them in bed. She took Ferdinand firmly by the shoulder, and placed him in the kitchen and soon fire was
 built and the breakfast ready. But
 the little mother decided that Dinah
 the servant doll must be had at once
 for Ferdinand declared the coffee was
 water and the biscuits like wooder
 button molds.
 The next morning Ferdinand ano
 Annette did not get up until the ITS
 ing bell rang. Ferdinand sat at the
 table, reading his paper, when An
 nette appeared. She wore blue sill
 wrapper, fastened at the neck ant
 waist with blue bows, and from thu
 waist down could be seen the rufhe'
 of a lace petticoat.
 You are looking very charming, m! dear," said Ferdinand, and Annett , smiled very sweetly. Dinah came il
 with two little plates, and on each wa half a grape, on a very small leaf. Then she served a most wonderful f omelet which looked very much lik
 a daisy.
 V Dat am a daisy omelet, Mas Fer n man," she said, "an' it sure am good e The biscuits looked very much lik
 those Annette had served, but Ferd
 nand did not find fault, and everythln n went smoothly for while.
 Then one night Annette sat up a :. night and waited for Ferdinand, an
 he did not come home, and in tn
 morning when Annette's mother cam
 ne found her sitting in her cha1 # looking very sad.
 r- "Why, where is Ferdinand!' st o- asked, and then she ran to a corner IVY the room that Annette sould not SC # from her home, and there Sat poo Q Ferdinand, looking as sad as Annett m The little girl had taken him to h "a business office in the morning and fo 10 gotten all about him. She quickly T " stored him to Annette, who forgaN ;s him, as good and loving wife shoul 1e when he explained to her that bu: it ness was so rushing they had to wol ri all night. And as there were no tel il- phones in those days. she accepted h be excuse So you see all little gil NY should be careful to attend to the
 lolls, because they might break
