One day Kitty's mother called her little daughter to her, and taking both her dimpled dots of hands in her own soft white ones, said, "Kitty, my darling, I am going to New York this morning, to see your dear grandma', and I shall have to leave the house in your charge until I come back. Do you think you can be my little housekeeper for to-day?" "Oh yes, mamma! I should like that so much! I will keep house as well as you-that is, 'most, not quite!" and Kitty jumped up and down for joy at being trusted with such important affairs.
