The little parcel contained a very beautiful and expensive bracelet
with a clasp which made it smaller or larger, according to the size of
the arm of the wearer.
But Mrs. Bradford did not think it a suitable thing for her little
girl, and she told Bessie she should put it away till she was grown up.
"I sha'n't wear it then, mamma," said Bessie; "she never sent Maggie
one, and I don't want to wear what she don't. We can both look at it
sometimes, and then we can both think of Miss Adams: but we can't both
wear it, and we don't want to be dressed _different alike_."
