Dear Little Men and Little Women: I think
you will like 10 hear about my dog We named
her Lady Babbie, after Maude Adamss char
acter in 'The Little Minister" She Is a very
clever Collie and she seems TO understand every
thing you say to her. She was very fond Of our
maid Clara. One day Clara went out sailing
She rowed down to the dock. where the sailooat
lay and left her boat with great many other
rowboats tied there Babbie wanted to go very
much, but of course. Clara could not take her.
We had 10 hold her by the collar until the boat
disappeared around the point. AS soon as We
let her go she along the path by the lake,
but by the time she got there the sailboar had
gone When Clara came back, about an hour
later. she saw Babbie sitting IN one or the
boats waiting for her. and when she landed she
saw that Babbie had picked our boat from all
the others.
Then another time Babbie say cat on the
table. She barked and tried u attract some
body's attention The cook was IN the yard, put
she came in just in time TO see Babbie seize the
cat by the leg and jerk him off the table,
