Lilla's Doll Show.
Lilla had more dolls than she knew what to do with.
Some were sitting in chairs, some lying in cradles, and one was seated in a perambulator.
'I have more dolls than any other little girl has,' said she, as she held three in her arms. 'I have been counting them, and I have fifteen large dolls, and ten small ones, and twelve very small ones, and then there are the little china dolls in the bath and in the china cradles. To think of one little girl having so many dolls, mother! Sometimes I think I have too many. And there is no one but myself to play with them. I wish I knew what to do with them all.'
