The Tiny Folk

(A real story or real children [or very young children) I

Baby Linda was busy in her play pen. She had her doll and her Iurry bunny by her side. and was giving all her attention to putting her shoe on the doll‘: head. Laurie sat beside the play pen on the floor. He held Ginger. his big teddy on his knee and tried to tie the bow under his chin. You see. Grandma had made a pretty pair of plaid overalls and white shirt with a plaid tie for when Laurie had visited her last week. So of course Gin- ger had to be dressed up every morning.

“See, Linda. doesn't Ginger lonk lovely in his new clothes?" Laurie asked as he held up the teddy to his sister.

Linda i'ca'ched out llirougli the bars for the teddy, saying "Bruba. ba. da, da."

“No. you can't have Ginger. clear. You play with your dolly," said Laurie.

"Perhaps she wants her bunny dressed up." suggested Mrs. Page as she passed with the broom.

Laurie looked at Linda. grinned and reached for her bunny. Out he went in his mniher's scrap box. Mrs. Page could hear him rum-l maging around. but she said noth- ing. Five minutes later Laurie‘ came back with the bunny.

"Tie this. please," he asked, passing the bunny to his moth- er. He had tied a strip of blue around the bunn_\' and now wanted his mo- ther in taster‘ a piece of pink rib-~ bcin nn top of it.

"What is this supposed to be?" smiled his mother.

"That is sister's dress. Doesnt it pink is the belt."

()ii. l see." said Mrs. Page.

Tn! _Monday. April 19, 1954

"Here then, it is tied. Give it back to Linda. Now play quietly and gentle with her till I come down from making the beds."

Mrs. Page kept one ear open as she hurried about her upstnirs work. but all seemed to be go- ing well downstairs. She could hear Laurie talking and laughing with Linda. but the baby seemed contened, so she left them alone.

When she went down. Laurie shouted. “Surprisel" And whet I surprise it .was. The play pen was full of strangers. No. it wasn‘t I stranger alter all. It was Laurie wearing his moth- er's pink felt hat and pink scsrf. Ginger sat beside him in his new overalls. Linda‘: Bunniiur. was sitting up as straight as could be in his blue dress and pink ribbon. But baby Linda looked the strangest of all. She had her mother's green hat on. but it was much too big and came down over her eyes. Her little baby hands were pulling and tugging trying to get the hat off, but it stayed on. She need- ed io lift it off, but couldn't un- derstand that. so she was getting quite annoyed.

“Don't we look stylish?" piped up Laurie. with a mischievous grin. These are our new Easter clothes."

"You certainly are quite dress- ed up." answered his mother with a twinkle in her eye. “But it seems to me that your sister does not care for style. I do not think that she likes her new Easter bonnet."

Laurie look it off her head and climbed nut. saying. “There now. Linda. your head is free again. So you do not like a new hat. I guess you will have to wait until you get as big as Mommy to start trying on hats for style."

But all Linda said was, “Ga. ga. la."
