Let me see: I'll give them a pair of new shoes each, Christ-mas."

She stopped to think how she would send them. "They must go by the mail," she thought; "and how fun-ny it'll seem to send shoes to one's own feet. How odd the ad-dress will look!

Hearth-rug, Near the Fire. (With Al-ice's love.)

Oh dear, there's no sense in all that."
