"Tell the lady your name, dear," said Marie.
"Pitty Yady!" said the baby, caressing Patty's cheek.

"Baby Boo," said the child.
"Baby Boo! What a dear name!" said Patty.
"Her name is Beulah," Marie explained, "but she always calls herself
Baby Boo, so every one else does."
"It's just the name for her," said Patty, catching up the midget in her arms and cuddling her.
