EDGE TOOLS. "I have something to say to you, Fluff," said Frances. The young girl was standing in her white dress, with her guitar hung in its usual attitude by her side. She scarcely ever went anywhere without this instrument, and she was fond of striking up the sweetest, wildest songs to its accompaniment at any moment. Fluff, for all her extreme fairness and babyishness, had not a doll's face.
