room were arranged appropriate furniture and ornaments.

The parlor had beautiful and elaborate furniture, rugs, pictures,
bric-a-brac, and even lace curtains at the windows. The library
had beautiful bookcases, writing-desk, reading-table and a lamp,
easy-chairs, and everything that belongs in a well-ordered
library.

The dining-room was fully furnished, and the kitchen contained
everything necessary to the satisfaction of the most exacting
cook.

The bedrooms were beautiful with dainty brass beds, chintz-covered
furniture, and dressing-tables fitted out with all sorts of toilet
equipments.

All of these things were found in the catalogues and the magazine
advertisements; and in addition to the rooms mentioned, there were
halls, a nursery, playroom, and pleasant verandas fitted up with
hammocks and porch furniture.

Of course it required some imagination to think that these rooms
were in the shape of a house, and not just leaves of a book, but
both Midge and Molly had plenty of imagination, and besides it was
very practical fun to cut out the things, and arrange them in
their places. Sometimes it was necessary to use a pencil to draw
in any necessary article that might be missing; but usually
everything desired could be found, from potted palms to a baby
carriage.
