s Baby Fair. _Hands each doll to it's owner._ _Exit all._ [Illustration: Doll and Cat--Please, Puss, don't Hurt Me.] [Page 53--Dolly Land] [Illustration: Dog Hitched to Doll Carriage.] A Doll's Adventures Round the World All round the world and back again Dolly and I have been; By sea and land we've travelled far, The strangest sights have seen. To Greenland first we sailed away To see the snow and ice, But Dolly's nose--it nearly froze-- Oh, dear! that wasn't nice! So off we tripp'd to Canada, There 'twas not quite so cold-- But there the Indians in the woods Rushed after us so bold. We ran away to Montana, O'er Rocky Mountains high, To picnic in wild Oregon, Famous for pumpkin pie. Then down to California, Through many a field of gold, And over ancient Mexico, Past temples manifold. The Sandwich Isles we visited, Where grew such radiant flowers, And pretty girls danced all the day In fragrant, rosy bowers. We crossed the Equatorial Seas, And, sailing round and round The lovely islands of the main, Sweet coral groves we found. New Zealand's shores we landed at, The country of strange things-- Cherries that carried the stones out-side, And flowers with butterflies' wings. Oh, when we reach Australia-- What heaps and heaps of gold! And a million sheep and lambs we saw Straying from fold to fold. To buy some tea-pots and some trays, We called at quaint Japan, Where a very polite old Japanese Gave Dolly an ivory fan. We took a trip to Chinese land To take a cup of tea, But neither sugar nor cream was given, Which didn't suit Dolly and me. Then travelling to Hindustan, We met a tiger there, Who looked as though he would eat us up-- So off we flew elsewhere. And found ourselves in the Khyber Pass, In the midst of a Caravan, With which we travelled night and day To reach Afghanistan. Across the Red Sea next we sail'd And through the Suez Canal, To purchase a camel at old Cairo, With a trot most magical, Across the Desert we rode apace, No water was there to drink, Ah, oh!--while climbing a Pyramid Dolly dropped down a chink. An Arab kindly rescued her-- (She did so ruffle her hair; If ever she plays that trick again She'll have to be left down there.)
