FRANCES felt exceptionally sad for herself as she sat in First-day school only one month before Christmas. The administrator was asking every one of the kids please to bring some of their toys — "even some of those you are exceptionally attached to" — to pack into boxes to be sent to poor little youngsters who hadn't anything to play with. Frances made a decent attempt to consider something she could extra, and she gazed up at the director with such. enormous distressed round eyes that he gave her a unique little grin. just for herself as he stated
, "Perhaps you can't recall every one of your toys now, and surmise that on the off chance that you gave away a few dolls or creatures or books, you would have nothing cleared out. Oh my goodness what to do. When you go home, take a seat and work out a rundown of the considerable number of things you claim, and after that check whether you can save one-tenth of them for the little kids who have nothing." The administrator realized that Frances lived in a little house with her mom, who showed school throughout the day, and that presumably Frances hadn't the same number of toys as other youngsters. Be that as it may, maybe, she could save only a couple.
While Frances was wiping the dishes for her mom after their comfortable little supper, she revealed to her what the administrator had said. Presently she would give away one out of each ten of her toys. "That doesn't appear like much, however then I haven't in particular," she included, somewhat shamefaced.
With a major yellow tablet and a pleasant red, white and blue pencil, Frances sat down at the little table in her own room beside mother's. Initially, she began to compose everything in sight; the little table and white seat that ran with it, the doll's dresser and bed, a swinging loft on a minor edge that held her best china doll Irene, an arrangement of little dishes orchestrated on another little table. At that point her eyes fell on her bookshelves in the corner and she began to record the titles — "Little Men," "Little Ladies," "Water Babies" — yet this took too long, so she numbered them up precisely and was astonished to discover forty-eight, some thick, some thin, however all with pictures and incredibly prized. She looked up at the dividers. She had practically overlooked her Mom Goose pictures in plated casings, and Jack, the Goliath Executioner, shinnying up the bean-stalk in his red coat; twelve pictures through and through. That must be about all, aside from her dolls.
She went to the storeroom to include them: Little Master Fauntleroy a weave suit; a major Kewpie with a wide band; twin unbreakable infants in long garments; a cloth doll with cotton spilling from its neck; old china Sallie with pantalettes, the doll that had a place with mother when she was close to nothing; Irene, obviously, her absolute best kid — Frances was flabbergasted to discover fifteen of them, not including the Teddy Bear or the fluffy canine.

She Opened Every Drawer of the Dolls' Agency
At that point she recalled the rack brimming with diversions and paper dolls, and she filled two more sheets of the tablet, painstakingly duplicating the names off the tops. There was one box of little china creatures — she checked them up. The dolls' garments jumped out at her, and she opened every drawer of the dolls' dresser and checked the little dresses and caps and modest shoes. She was practically frightened at the way the rundown was developing.
At long last, subsequent to filling another sheet with fortunes in the huge department where her garments were kept, she moved into mother in the parlor, waving the paper and yelling, "I'm through! Presently please help me include them up."
"Did you overlook the glass and saucer and bowl in the sideboard that grandmother gave you when you were wiped out; or your work-wicker bin on the table" (mother checked out the room), "or those duplicates of St. Nicholas, or the colored pencils around my work area — "
"Stop, mother — kindly don't go so quick!" cried Frances, composing fiercely. At that point she strolled all around alternate rooms and was tranquil for quite a while. At long last, she returned to mother and laid eight firmly filled sheets of paper on her lap.
"Mother," she asked keenly, "don't the little Belgian and French youngsters have a solitary thing — not in any case one doll?"
"No, the homes of a significant number of them have been scorched, and they have not a solitary toy left."
"All things considered, I have included these up myself," Frances proceeded, "and I claim two hundred and fifty-eight things to play with. I isolated ten into that and it goes about twenty-six circumstances. Will select thirty toys to send in our First-day school box. Wasn't it strange that I thought I had nothing! At the point when the administrator approached us for things, I recently recalled that I hadn't a major doll-house like Louisa's, nor a ring like Marion's. Figure I'll send the Belgians one of my twins and the fluffy puppy — " Frances dashed off cheerfully to assemble her tenth together.
