The Tiny Folk] (A real story or real children for very young children) Susan was very busy fixing up her doll carriage Just so. She smoothed out the pillow that was the mattress. and spread a clean little sheet over it. She placed her pink silk pillow at the top, and folded the little patchwork quilt at the bottom. “Winkle! Here. Kitty. Kitty kitty." she called. Winkle. her little blond l(ll.l(‘n. crawled out from un<l(-r the stove. and came over to her. She picked him up in her arms and he pur- red very loud and fast, a sure sign he was pleased. "l‘m going to dress you up for an outing this iiiornlng," his llllll’ mistress told him. “You must he very. very good, and we'll go over tn visit Laurie and Mrs. Page" She took her very best white organdie bonnot that belonged to her doll.

In f4I(‘l. he rather liked it, for since Porky had come to live with them. the little black pup got a lot of at- tention and loving from Susan. “There now, you lie down on U19 pillow while I cover you up." rirdercd Susan The kitten strz-trli~ ed himself out while she tucked in the riuilt.

I must say," dcclareil Mrs. Page "There are very few kittens that would stay quiet that long." “My baby is hungry now. I need to feed him," said Susan in her wry best grown-up manner. Mrs. Page looked very startled as Susan picked up the dolls bottle full of milk and held it to thc kitten's mouth. Winkle opened his mouth and sucked lzroedily till the milk disappeared "Well I ne\'cr"’ cxclaimed Mrs. Page. "That is a very unusual kitten. He wears a bonnet sleeps in the carriage, and even drinks from a bottle! Does he stick his ‘ thumb’."’ Susan giggled at that. “No-n-o. but I think I'll teach him that trick too.

Those downy mites were born with one very helpful and import- ant blessing. It was the ability to hldc and keep perfectly still. It sometimes seemed as if one of them could hide under a blade or grass. Each one would squat down close to the ground so that any- one looking. even from close at hand, would fall to see it. The very first lesson that mother tried to teach thrm was obedience. That. is the most. important lesson that any baby can learn. She taught them to squat, and to stay with- out nirmng until they heard her signal to come to her. When they hear it. they would come running from all directions.
