Because in 11928, the year their daughter was born, the liid suddenly yielded an abunIdant barvest. Her parents, said, "We will caîl her Eartha, to thank tise earth for our fine ecrop:." But the improvement in the family fonrtunes was short-iived. By the timne she was six, Eartha Kitt had lost boh ber parents and was brought tsup by an aunt i New York. As a very smaill chld she learnied to Liva with her dreains, to escape from her dreary sutr- rouindings iinto a world of fantasy.
