"good bye. yours, Nattie."
"Oh, mamma," she cried, laughing, "Nattie thinks the young lady's name is 'Miss Don't Know Yet!' How funny! But really, what is her name, mamma?"
"She will tell you that herself, when she comes. She wants to surprise you."
"Oh!" said Lillie; and just then another note was handed to her, and she read this:
"Dear Lillie:—Mamma is writing this note for me, and she says—I accept your invitation with much pleasure. So I do, certainly. What delightful fun it is to go to a party! I wish you would have one every week.
"Your loving friend, Kitty."
"Oh, mamma"—Lillie was just going to ask her mother to let her have a party every week—when Maggie brought another note. This was from a young gentleman, and was as follows:
"Master Russell is coming to Your Party; and I will Eat all the plum Cake, and bring A pack of Crackers In my pocket—to fire off in honor Of Miss Doughnut.
"Yours affectionately,
"Sam Russell."
