“HOW MAMA USED TO PLAY.”
_There was once a very happy little girl who spent her childhood on an
old green farm. She had a little sister, and these two children never
knew what it was to possess toys from the stores, but played, played,
played from dawn till dark, just in the play-places they found on that
green farmstead. I so often have to tell my children “how mama used to
play”—for I was that very happy little girl—that I think other “little
women” of these days will enjoy knowing about those dear old simple
play-times._
