Where are my trunks? I think this is a
horrible homer
Charlotte was so troubled and felt SO
sorry that she almost began to cry. But
before she could say a word her old doll
came out Of the doll house in a towering
rage. and walking up to the new doll she
said:
You're fussy, horrid creature. and you
don't deserve to belong to a nice girl like
Charlotte. You ought to belong to some
r1ch vain, silly thing just like yourself
someone that would keep you on the top
shelf of dark closet. done up in cam
phor! That's all you're good for. You
don't deserve to be talking doll at all
It's enough for you just to open and shut
your eyes"
With that the new doll lost her temper.
She screamed and jumped at the old doll,
and tried to scratch and bite her. And
then the old doll just pitched In. tumbled
the new doll over and broke her speaking
machine!
"Oh, you shouldn't have done that"
Charlotte exclaimed to the old doll. And
I didn't know you could speak,
Il can't" said the old doll, ''but I Just
got SO hopping mad had to-"
And after that neither Of them spoke any
more, but the new doll behaved herself
very sensibly, and 1t served her right.

The Dolls That Talked.
By TUDOR jerks, Author of 'tGalapon, tn
Talking Pony"

By TUDOR jerks. Author of "Galapon. the
Talking Pony
Speaking of talking, dolls. or talking OF
speaking dolls, the most curious one you
ever heard of was the one you &re going
to hear of now 1t did not belong to fairy
story princess or to a Christmas book boy.
but to a little girl whose house is not so
very far from yours. Neither did 1t come
to her in any queer way. for it was given to
her on her birthday by her Uncle Ben.
Uncle Ben was a little queer, though, for
he was a sailor and had been in all parts
of the world. Why. some of the places he
had visited were not down in the geography
at all, being in the blank places on the
maps.
He brought the doll, he told his niece,
from the Worry-warrow islands," but then
that was probably a joke. for the doll
looked like the dolls you buy in all the
shops, and at first Char!Otte-Charlotte was
the niece's name-didnt see anything in the
new doll except what was pretty and nice.
Her face looked proud, but new dolls often
look. so until they have been out Of the
shop long enough not to be quite so new
and fresh. and Charlotte didn't think any
thing about that.
The first thing Charlotte did was to see
what sort OF clothes the new doll had on;
the second was TO make her shut and open
her eyes; and the third was to pull red
string that came out of the dolls back: This
was the dolls talking string, and Charlotte
expected the doll to say Papa Mann
MAJ as all well-taught dolls should do.
But the new doll was not that kind.
When Charlotte had pulled the string the
doll said. What an untidy nursery"
Charlotte was so surprised that she let
the doll fall, and was surprised still more
when the little doll cried out. very Grossly:
Ouch, you careless thing!''
This was pleasant! Charlotte picked the
doll up and sat her down in a dolls chair.
for she hardly dared to touch her. Then
the doll began to pull her talking string
herself.
Well said the doll, after minute,
what are we going to play? l have been
in the shop for weeks. and haven't had
even tea party. am hungry as I can
be-"
II didn't know dolls were really hungry

use in catching other fishes for themselves,
so nature, which looks after all things,
teaches them little tricks which they use
to great advantage.
There Is one fish who hides himself in
the mud at the bottom OF the big rivers In
India, where he makes his home. and just
peeps his head out to see what is going on.
Now. this fish has a kind of beard growing
on his lips. The hairs OF the beard keep
weighing about In the water. and the little
fishes think that surely they worms,
All little fishes are very greedy, so when
they see these hairs they say to themselvesi
"Oh. here are some fine worms. let's have q
party" Up they swim and begin 20 nibble
at the hairs; bat the FISH who ~ In the mud
gobbes them up. and the little ones do not
have Any party.
There is another kind Of fsh WHO shoots
flies and little bugs. He twists his mouth
until Il is just like pop-gun, and he uses
a drop OF water instead OF bullet when
he sees fly sitting on a leaf near the
waters edge he takes aim very carefully,
then. pop. and Mr.. Fly inds himself
knocked into the water, only 20 be eaten
by the fish who has shot him.
SIN another strange FISH lives In the sea.
He Is called the sucking fish. When he
sees anything he likes very much he simply
fastcns himself to II by means Of n kind
OF plate on his head He Is so strong that
nothing can pull him away.
The people who live near the coast of
Africa use this fish TO catch turtles. They
tie "A strong cord to his tail and put him In
the water near the place where the turtle
Is asleep. II they go too near the turtle
will wake up and swim away, but the suck

ing his own sides with his elbows. This re-
ply broke up the ring entirely. Now all the
ducks crowded about Iktomi
We must see what you carry, We must
know what Is in your blanket! they shout
ed in both his ears. Some even brushed
their wings against the mysterious bundle
Nudging himself again, willy Iktomi said
MY friends, t is only pack of songs i
carry in my blanket"
On, then let us hear your songs!" cried
the curious ducks.
At length Iktomi consented to sing his
songs. With delight all the ducks tapped
their wings and cried together, 'Hoye!
hoyer
Iktomi. with great care, laid down his
bundle on the ground.
Il will build first a round straw house,
for never sing my songs in the open air, %
said he.
Quickly he bent green willow sticks
planting both ends of each pole into the
earth. These he covered thick with reeds
and grasses. Soon the straw hut was
ready. One by one the fat ducks waddled
In through a small opening. which was the

die OF songs, strutted into the hut.
In a strange low voice Iktomi began
MS queer old tunes. All the ducks sat
round-eyed In a circle about the mysterious
singer. 1t was dim in that straw hut for
lhtofnl nad not forgot to cover up the
small entrance way. All of a sudden his
song burst into full voice. AS the startled
ducks sat uneasily on the ground Ikt omi
changed his tune into minor strain.

a snare rather than to earn the smallest
thing with honest hunting. Why! he laughs
outright with wide open mouth when some
simple folk are caught in trap, sure and
fast.
He never dreams another lives so bright
as he. Often his own conceit leads him
hard against the common sense of simpler
people.
Poor Iktomi cannot help being little imp.
And so long as he rs a naughty fairy, he
cannot find single friend. No one helps
him when he is in trouble. No one really
loves him. Those who come to admire his
handsome beaded jacket and long fringed
leggins soon go away sick and tired OF his
vain, vain words and heartleSS laughter.
Thus Iktomi lives alone in a cone-shaped
wigwam upon the plain. One day he sat
hungry within his teepee. Suddenly he
rushed out dragging after him his blanket.
Quickly spreading it on the ground he tore
up dry, tall grass with both hands and
tossed it fast into the blanket
Tying all the four corners together in a
knot he threw the light bundle Of grass
over his shoulder.
Snatching up slender willow stick with
his free left hand he started off with a
hop and leap. From side to side bounced
the bundle on his back, as he ran lightfoot-
to the edge of the great level land. On the
hilltop he paused for breath. With wicked
smacks of his dry parched lips, as If tast-
ing some tender meat, he looked straight
into space toward the marshy river bottom.
With a thin palm shading his eyes from
the Iowlands, mupching his own cheeks all
the while. "Ah-ha!' grunted he, satisfied
with what he saw
A group of wild ducks were dancing and
feasting in the marshes. With wings out
spread, tip to tip, they moved up and down

Virginia's Cats.

Some people thinks cats are a great nuis-
ance-"always getting under your feet or
jumping up on the table," they say OF
course. some cats do these things, but Il
they had been taught better manners when
they were young they would know how to
behave nicely when grown up. So you see
IL is not the cats fault at all
Let me tell you about Virginia's cats. She
has five and calls them Smut. Tiddlewinks
Floss SvengaH and Fluff, and besides, so
many kittens that i am afraid she will have
to number them for she cannot think of
names enough to go around.
Virginia has a large dolls house with
which she played when very little girl
she is thirteen now-so she uses it as a
home for her pets Each cat has a room
all to itself where 1t sleeps at night and
sometimes takes a nap in the day time
Smut in the kitchen. Floss in the dining
room and the other three up stairs in bed
rooms The kittens have a large room OH
the top floor, 1t Is really the attic but Vir-
ginia calls IT the nursery. There are also
two spare rooms for visitors.
Virginia looks after the cats herself She

buys quart of milk every morning and
gives them their breakfast in a big round
dish 1t is very pretty sight to see them
all eating from one dish. Sometimes Smut
thinks he Is not getting his share so he
growls at the others and tries TO brighten
them away, but one word from his little
mistress makes : him behave better; occa-
sionally, too. little kitten will get right in
the milk and Virginia has to lift 1t out and
hold 1t by the side OF the dish.
After dinner at night all the cats are al
lowed to come into the dining room (of
Nirginia's house, and have a romp with
her. She pets and plays with each one and
they have jolly half hour together before
being put to bed. Each knows it's own room
and liz soon curled up on Its soft pillow, fast
asleep.
Once Svengalli paid n visit to the little
Glrl VINO lives across the road; late In the
afternoon she carried him back to Virginia
and said: Here's BY Gally Melancholy
l brought him home to you" Svengali was
80 Blad to get home again that he did not
notice the little girls mistake In his name
but just purred and bumped up his bnck
like all cats do when they are pleased An
other time Fluff was missing for several
days. Virginia hunted everywhere and was
very much worried. Finally she found her
away up In the hay NOW with four little
baby kittens
one cold winter night Virginia heard
very sad me-aow out side the back door She
opened II quickly and there on the door
step lay Il poor little kitten just about frozen
stln. She took the waif into the warm room
ana gave 1t good rub and a saucer of
warm milk. The kitten purred loudly while
tapping IL up. You shall sleep in one OF
the spare room tonight" Virginia told It.
but | guess the little stranger was lonely,
Tor in the morning she found 1t cudded up
close TO Tlddlewinks, who was giving 1t a
thorough washing Later in the day the
kitten was returned to it's owner who had
given 1t up as lost.
All the cats in the neighborhood seem to
know that Virginia loves them for they
come to see her quite often and the snare
rooms of her old dolls house have many
visitors. TOM VVHITEHEAn
