It seemed as if the child had, already, everything that one could wish for her. She had a kind mother and a home full of toys and dolls. She had many pretty frocks and a pony carriage and a garden full of flowers. She had yellow curls and pink cheeks and blue eyes. “What else could a little girl need?” wondered Old Father Time, who leaned over the little white bed on New Year’s Eve, with all his children, the months, about him, and each one eager to give a New Year’s gift to the little girl.
