" fright " iiuito out at arm's length, with a contemptuous tow of her riraJod head and a contemptuous look in her eye, Miraie looked up for an imtant and then down at the riblwna alio waa twining through her fingers, wondering aa ahe twined, how a loll with wm ohocka aud lloasyhair that would coiiih could bo a fright, and wondering if aha would ever have a doll with mob. wonderful drotaua, all flounced and frilled, auch cunning hats and atookinga and slums, ami thinking of the homoly rag baby, Jessamino, which she had bo fondly ming aaloep before ahe came away and lucked snugly in' the cradle in the comer. "The girls have inch sweet dolls, " continued Itoll partly to herself, "and as to clothes, deary ni3, I am juat aahamed for any Imdy to sec theso frighta, " and ahe threw the abused doll down at her aide, greatly risking her head altogether, and tumod again to Mamie. "What kind of dolla are your at homo ! Are thoy very fluey" ' I only have one " said Maraie, softly. "It ia a grand one then, I suppose. I d rather have one and have it hut the nicest kind, you know, than to have all those frighta. " Marsio waa atill for an instant. .She would rather not havu told 11.11 Stevcna about Jo-aa mine at home ; it waa very hard to own that Inr doll was not grand, and was only a rag doll with the plumcst kind of olothea. II. II had taken fur granted that it waa a fine dolly and already was envying it j how eaiy to say nothing and let her continue to think it fine. Hut Miirsn' was too true to deceive; the u -xt instant she whk sating: "Jessamin ia only made of rags, and her clonics are not line at all, nut I love her ami sh is pretty to me. " "Made of rags! I don't know what you mean, hut then she has some kind of a line faoo !' "No: nice like your doll's, for it is only of rags. " "Now, Mrraie Bernard, I moat don't be iove you! "Mamma nude her and I love her, " aaid Maraie, thinking regretfully of having Ixx'ii ashamed of her. Hell camo and knelt down quite close to Mar sio as she sat on the floor, ami twining hack the long golden curl that bail fallen over her face, stooped to look in tho blue oyes and see if they wore "telling true." "Hasn't alio any hate?" continued Bell, "nor any shoot to Uke off! anil haa she nothing hut rag cheeks, and no wax at all ? She leaned over and picking up the fright she hnsl cast ilown, liegan smoothing the nun pled hair aa the aaked: "Why hasn't Jessamine line clothes)?" "Mamma hasn't no time to span-: she sews ami sears arerybody'e things to get money for me anil Hobble, and then ahe la loo pale ami tired to s. for dolla "Hasn't she one single flounced frock! "No, none flounced, but plant are pretty I notigh. " Bell waa poking up one dreeaaad pretty niek 11.1. k after another and tossing it down again. ' KUxv hat lots of dream, snd so have all mv ilolla. onlv I ilon t think them nice. Ia Jessamin aa bur a Flaxy!" ' Alm.t I irueaa: onlv not so in. . mot 1" pari ami "Flaxy haa lota of things.

" ' That dou't make her pretty. " 'Mamma savs it is our aval asaaa Baal hearts that makes things ugly or boeutilul." l Men I believe 1 knot what you mean.

That ia what mamma in. ana when she says things are beautiful or ugly as we make them so by our own eves and hearta." "1 cannot htlp anting that her nose ia stub, lied ami her face all scratched up." "No, but her face is only s I it t In si-iatchcd. ami her nose a little sick stubbed, and I'd try to forgot alsiut that forget to hind (or the scratches."
