Show WHAT BECAME OF THE BUTTON Naive Confession of Little Girl Proved Her to Be True Daughter of Eve. Loie Fuller, the noted dancer, told at a luncheon a story about her class of dancing children. "I gave the children a Christmas party last year," she said, "and when the pudding came on I said to them: " 'I have put in this pudding a coin, a little china doll and a button. Whoever Who-ever gets the coin will be rich. Whoever gets the doll will be married before the year is out. But whoever gets the button will be an old maid.' "Well, the pudding disappeared rap-Idly, rap-Idly, and the little girls soon found the coin and the china doll. But the button did not turn up. . No one got the button. This amazed me. "That night I said to my favorite little girl, as ve sat alone by the fire in my room: " 'I can't understand what became of that button. I put it in the pudding myself.' '"Ill tell you,' the little girl confessed, con-fessed, turning rosy with confusion. 'I dot the button. But I didn't want everybody to laugh at me tho I thwallowed it.' " |
