"Please, lady, may I 'ave the fairy doll next time?" pleaded a
golden-haired little child, with an earnest, wistful look.
"Yes, if your hands are the cleanest. The little girl with the very
cleanest hands shall dress the fairy doll."
There is a buzz of pleased anticipation, and then a small voice is
heard:--
"Oh, Kitie Jimes, will your mother lend my mother your kike o' smellin'
soap next Tuesday evenin', an' you can 'ave our fryin'-pan?"
