What Happened to Matilda.


The doll house stood in the corner
OF the broad. green yard between the
tallest maple and the road. so the dolls
could see from the windows every
body and everything that passed
Sometimes the butchers cart would
roll slowly in. the butchers black dog
trotting close behind. and again with
a great rattle of shining pans up would
drive the jolly tin peddler
But what the dolls liked best to sec
was yellow basket phaetOn drawn by
a fat. brown pony and driven by Doro-
thy and Mabel. their merry little
mammas.
The doll house was built just like

other dolls often went to drive with

the piazza she would sit. leaning
against the railing, and watch the

country road.
Matilda always wore the same gown,

How Kitty Plays.

We all know how kitten likes to
play with a ball. Herbert's kitty was
like all the rest, and the ball of yarn
was so soft to the little white nose and
paws. DO you wonder that "Snow-
BALI tossed the ball out of the work
basket and then ran race with 1t, as
ii rolled across the floor?
Herbert thought 1t much more fun
than to play with wood or gum ball.
And the real sport was when the black
yarn wound itself around the white
paws of the kitten. There never was
such scratching in the air. and the
more pussy struggled, the more yarn
she wrapped around her. At last she
had to give 1t up, and she Just lay
there all wrapped around in n coat of
mothers knitting.
DO you know what Herbert has to
do every day now: For an hour every
morning he has to untange that yarn
and roll 1t on the ball again.
