Susan and Karen were very busy with their dolls. when Karen had come over to play she had brought all her family with her in thhe carriage. There was the very beautiful doll with real hair and eyelashes and rubber body. There

was old Raggedy Ann, a stuffcdl

rag doll with her bright cotton dress. Two smaller dollsg with hard heads and hands were dressed in babyls knitted things. Then for good measure she had brought a- long two small plastic dolls dres- sed in sweaters and skirts.

"Wait until I get my dolls and their clothes,” called Susan as she ran towards the house. "David took Perky. his black puppy, and went over to play with Laurie. We'll be able to take all our play things out doors and no one will bother us. Perky always runs away with my dolls' clothes when he's a- round.

Susan returned with her arms filled to overflowing. She had: Margie Lou her new Christmas: dolls: Betty Ann, who had been new three years ago but was now quite shabby; Cuddles. her rubber baby doll that she could really bath n water; and Topscy the black rag loll with its big uhitc button eyes.

"My! we have quite a family. you and I." smiled Karen. "What ihall we play with them?"

"Let's play house. I'll live over ziere by the liizic trec. You can Have your house uvcr there in the; mrncr by the gzirtien fence. Then. mu can bring your family to visit. no."

Karen was quite agreed to thisp so for a while the two little girls Jlayed apart. You could hear them talking to th('ll' children as they iressed them up. combed their iair. and sat them up in their aiakc bclicvc house on make be- ieve chairs.

"Come now, Patsy and Dora, ;'hubby and Roinpy. and you too, Raggedy Ami. we are going over to visit Mrs. Susan and her chil- iron. I want you to be real good all afternoon and not fuss." Karen ctarted off. whccliiig her carriage carefully with the dolls sitting up so straight and prim and staring straight all:-rid.

"How are your children?" asked Karen. teeth?" ,

"Oh yes, she has one, but she was so fussy I had to give her a baby frost to stop her crying. But she is fine now." Susan hastened to add. As she busted herself with Margie Lou's bonnet strings, she said suddenly. "Letls make on there's a baby show. We'll take our dolls and sit them up and decide which one is the pret- tiest."

"Let's. That would be fun. Where shall we take them?" -

"Around to the front door and we'll sit on the steps. That will be our theatre. Then we'll yudge them."

"Are we going to give prizes?”

"I haven't anything. Oh, I know, we'll give them flowers for a prize. We can pick a few pansies. Mommy won't mind."

The two girls were so busy! They sat the dolls up. straighten- ing their boniiets. fixing their curls, and wrapping blankets a- round the baby dolls.

"There now. Don't they look cute!" Susan sighed in satisfaction. "I think Margie Lou is the pret- ilcst doll there,"

"No, she isn't. My Dora is much prettier than your Margie Lou. Dora is bigger and look at her beautiful brown eyes.”

"No, she isn't!” argued Susan crossly. "Your old Raggedy Ann sitting up there spoils everything. lake her down."

"Just &en Mrs. Dale came to the door. "What's the trouble out here?" she asked.

One little girl looked at the other. To tell the truth, they each felt a little foolish to be quarrelling over such things as dolls. "We couldn't decide which doll was the pret- tiest." Susan said at last.

"They are all lovely," Mrs. Dale answered. "Margie Lou and Dora arc very new and beautiful, with their faces still pink and shining and their long curls. But Raggedy Ann and Betty Ann are pretty too. They are old and faded and rather worn in spots, but they got that way from so much loving. Per- haps you'd like to throw them a- way?"

"Oh no, no!" girls together.

"That's fine then." smiled Mrs. Dale. "Now go back to your play and have fun. but remember. it isn't always the prettiest things that you'll love the best. Love each for itself and forget the question of beauty.”

The great digging match on the Green Meadows was over, but one of the diggers didn't know it. He was Buster chuck. young son of Jenny and Polly Chuck. For some time he had been living by him- self in an old underground home. Flip the terrier had seen him go down in his home, and had started to try to dig him out.

Flip had made the sand fly for a. little while. He is an excitable young dog and this was exciting fun. He had no idea how deep down in the ground that tunnel he was trying to dig larger went. Had he known. he probably would not have started to dig. It was too big a job for any dog. Although some dogs are good diggers, they do not have the right kind of paws and toenails for digging as some others have, like Johnny Chuck. Reddy Fox, and Digger the Badger.

Now while Flip was trying to dig
