One day we had been out all of the
afternoon. Dorothy had selected twen-
ty dolls, and In retrospect I viewed
my own meager childhood and fancied
what such a glorious afternoon would
have meant to me, but the child ap-
peared more listless than usual. Feel-
ing rather anxious, 1 took her tempera-
ture, gave her some stimulating nour-
ishment and asked her to get Into my
lap while 1 road to her.
Dorothy had the beauttul old -young
manners In which the little children
of the rich are drilled, and always
treated me with careful consideration
and politeness, regardless of her own
wishes. Obediently she climbed Into
my lap, put her head against my
shoulder, and I began to read aloud

othy was very quiet, and as 1 turned
a page I looked down to see 1f ebe had
fallen asleep. To my eonsternatlon,

with tears, fast overflowing and run-
