and found lots of violets and daisies
we gathered all we could and
brought them to the house After we
ate our dinner we went back out OF
doors and planted them in the sand
pile.
Thon we made beautiful little
doll house and then brought all the
dolls out of doors and put them in
the doll house. We went I'D tn tho
barn and Alberta got stick and
made Emily's littlc calf run and sho
told us to hold the gate open so she
could run him through tho stall ard
Emily got really angry because Al
berta ran her little calf and she went
to the house and said that Alberta
just ran her little calf and made
him fall down. Then we went and
cracked some walnuts.

When she went out she would lock
FRANCES up to do tho hard work and
would not let her go out.
Ono day when she went out she
forgot to lock the doors and Frances
sneaked out.
She was walking along tho streets
and little rich girl saw her and
asked her why her mother gave her
such ragged clothes. When she told
her she had neither mother nor faith
err the little girl said, II have no one
to play with me and ri ask nv
mother to let you live with me-,
She asked her mother and her
mother said, sho would be glad n
