Princess Polly's Gay Winter by Amy Brooks
page 76 of 140 (54%)
It was now Sprite's turn. Slowly she advanced, her pretty hands
outstretched, and oddly enough she at once caught Lena Lindsey. Her
little face was puzzled, and earnest, as she felt of the hair, the
cap, and the gown. Then, in an instant, she passed her slender fingers
over the chin.

She laughed merrily.

"It's Lena!" she cried gaily, "for it is Lena who has a deep dimple
in her chin!"

Each took his turn at being blindfolded, and then "Post office" was
announced.

Polly received a great batch of letters, and it was Rob, of course,
who "_mailed_" them. Polly sent five "letters" to Rose, Rose had ten
for Uncle John, Uncle John had two for Aunt Judith, who protested
that she was "not a child."

"Neither am I," he said.

Aunt Judith chose little Sprite, then Sprite chose Harry Grafton. Harry
had five letters for Polly, and Polly had one for Walter, who declared
that he _found two_!

"Copenhagen" was the next, and "Pillow" was the next.

Princess Polly, Rose and Sprite were the most favored of all the little
lassies, and it would have been hard to say which of the three was the
most popular.
