"Well for 'bout fifty reasons," replied Mickey. "You see Lily is a poor
kid, and her back is bad. That doll is so big she couldn't dress it
without getting all tired out; and what's the use showing her such

and the best she can have right now; so that ain't the kind of a doll for
Lily--it's too big--and too--too gladsome!"
"I see," laughed Leslie. "Well Mickey, you show me what would be the right
size of a doll for Lily. I'll get another, and dress it as you say. How
would that do?"
"You needn't!" said Mickey. "Lily is happy now."
"But wouldn't she _like_ a doll?" persisted Leslie. "I never knew a girl
who didn't love a doll.
