The willful generosity of a pretty
and richly clad child, the timid joyfui
nes of a pretty child in and the
gentle kindness of the richly clad child's
mother furnished a touching incident
on sth avenue near 57th street one
afternoon last week. Both children
were girls. The ragged little girl went
into ecstasies at the sight of a costly
doll which the other child was carry
ing. “Oh, mamma, see that hootiful
dolly! that hootiful, hootiful dolly!”
she cried tugging at the skirts of the
haggard and thinly clad woman at her
side.
The pretty child of fortune heard
the eager cry of delight and instantly
her little heart swelled with gener
osity. “Here, little girl,” she said,
“you may have this dolly; I have got
another one : t home.” And she pressed
the beautiful toy into the arms of the
poverty mite. The poor woman utter
ed a feeble protest and the rich mamma
was about to interfere to recover the
doll when the little aristocrat ex
claimed: “Now, mamma, you give
the little gii lV mamma something and
then we each will have done a good
deed.”
The eyes of the rich woman and the
eyes of the poor woman met and the
rich woman's sympathies were touched.
In another instunt a compact green
roll was thrust into the poor woman's
hand with the gentle request. “Please
accept this for the children's sake.” —
