I am a little girl nearly nine years old. I do not take HARPER'S
YOUNG PEOPLE, but my grandma does. I have a little sister who was
three weeks old yesterday. I hold her very often. She is a real
sweet little thing. She is ever so fat. And she can smile, too. I
heard that the Editor wants all the little girls to tell about
their pets and dolls. I have no pets except two cats, a mother cat
and a kitten. The mother's name is Mollie, and the kitten's name is
Dot. I have a beautiful doll that I got on Christmas. She has
lovely golden curls, and little pink socks, and everything to
complete a baby's toilet. We haven't very good coasting, for the
snow is so deep. We have in front of our house a great big
snow-drift that is higher than a man.
