tuesday

i love her on tuesday

as she irons smooth and clean

her little dolly's dresses

with the tucks and frills between.

tuesday, directly after lunch, i play with my doll's house. you see, i have all the work to do for dolly, and so i take out the clothes from the basket in the doll's house kitchen, and smooth them out, ready for ironing. there is a cunning little ironing board, besides two small irons, for "ironing day." there are lots of things to iron, all dolly's table linen and the cute little sheets and pillow cases and towels, too. oh, dear me! sometimes i feel that mother has a pretty hard time with our big house when i see how it bothers me to keep dolly's house in perfect order.

sometimes, before i have finished, my little friend eleanor gray will come in, and want me to go out with her. then we both take our hoops and go to the park and play all afternoon. as soon as i get home i put dolly to bed, before i have my own supper, because if i don't, very often i haven't time to attend to her afterwards and she has to sit up all night, which must be very tiresome even for a doll.
