believe you will agree with me
that most little girls are sweet little
things. To one who always carries a
warm spot in his heart for childhood
there is nothing more appealing than
sweet little girl, with her seriousness,
with her warm little heart of stead
fast loyalty, with her bright little eyes
looking squarely into yours and reflect
ing the love-light in your own eyes,
with her warm little hand sometimes
clasped in yours. Such a little girls
is one of life's richest gifts.
And such a little miss stepped into
