So she has good luck with her flowers, and is always able to make up a
nice bouquet. And she not only enjoys the flowers herself, but, what is
better still, she takes delight in having others enjoy them with her.

She does not forget to send a liberal share to the Flower Mission; and
many a poor sufferer has been cheered by the sight of Mary's flowers.

BABY TO HER DOLL.

I wonder what you are thinking about
While you look so smiling at me.
You never frown, and you never pout;
Your eyes are as clear as can be,
And though you are often hurt, no doubt,
Not a tear do I ever see!
