Do not agree with her!
And now she is a dreadful sight;
Not fit to hug or kiss!
Oh, dolly dear, how could you serve
Me such a trick as this?
THE LITTLE MOTHER.
Lulu’s dolls are so large that you would think they were real flesh and blood. She likes to have them large, she says, for then she can hug them, and make it seem as if they were alive. Her doll-baby, Flo, is just the size of her little sister, Baby May, and it is hard sometimes to tell which one she has in her arms.
Lulu is a real little mother girl. She takes the best of care of her dolls, and fondles them, and talks to them just as if they knew all that she said. She makes all their clothes, and keeps them in good order, and it would surprise you to see how well she sews.
She is gentle and kind in all her ways, but sometimes she has to scold G. W. and B. F. and stand them in a corner.
