Description
"MAMMA can I have it? Can I, mamma? Buy it for me, buy it; will you, mamma?" "May be so, dear. I will see about it." "No, not may be; not see about it, mamma I must have it, and I know you can afford it " The speakers were Mrs. Stone and her little daughter Mamie; the scene, Miss Ashton's broad, shady piazza, where, at this time, a little fair was taking place. And what was the object on which Mamie's heart was so set; for which she was begging so persistently, you will ask. Why, just this. A beautiful doll; a famous, much-talked-of doll, dressed as an infant by Miss Annie Stanton, for the fair; a doll eagerly desired by all the children present, as any little girl will readily believe when she hears that seldom has a doll had such an outfit.
