When the clinging lace, sparkly
jewel lady had gone to the play
that was too deep for Carlotta,
there was no one left but the man
over there in the corner. The man
was Carlotta's father; but you
would never have dreamed it. For
Carlotta was eternally hiking the
big, pale blue ribbon out of place
ON her brownish locks and twisting
her red leather girdle around and
hopping about on one red shod foot,
while the man was flabby and
grouchy-oh, terribly so!
When Carlotta crept over and
showed him the fluffy, pinkish
princess of a broken headed doll
which she adored, the man growled
like bear: "Ah-hh, g'way! How
can l think with you bothering me
so?"
1T is Welhelmina," explained
Carlotta, land she's sure enough
princess and she wants to meet her
grandpa: and Carlotta thrust the
Princess Wilhelmina right into the
mans purple face.
Now, here!" stormed the man.
IF you don't play with your things

and leave me alone. I'll put you in

the Princess Wilhelmina blinked
and Carlotta backed out. THAT

Then Carlotta laid the royal
china child away in it's tiny brass
bed, taking care that no waking
light glared into the placid, sea
blue eyes, and after that she
skipped over to the ma nagain and
shouted "Boo!" =
The man jumped nearly from his
chair and shook his fist. "UgRh- h.,
he growled once more; and Car
lotta twirled about like dervish.
"The Bears she pleaded. ""Tell
me about the bears, please, pop
"Here!" snorted the angry man.
do you think can figure out this
deal with kid jumping all over
my back and yelling about bears
and princesses? l won't stand
for it,"
Carlotta slipped from the pres
ence of the worried man and sat
in her own particular corner in
her own white and gilt chair, hard
by the castle of Yak-Buffalo blocks,

which is near unto the home of
the Blue Paper Dool People and i'm
mediately beside the tiny brass bed
where the Dutch Princess sleeps
There she remained for a minute
undecided whether to cry out for
very sympathy, or to be angry as a
worn business man, or to arouse
the Princess Wilhelmina from
dreams of doll dragons and pies to
tell her the story of childhood neg
lected. Carlotta decided on this
last course, and the princess had
to open her sleepy eyes.
In the corner, the grouchy man
muttered: "Bulls-66A sell short
Bank of England" and lots like
that; then he relapsed into moody
silence.
Its this way, Wilhelmina," be-
gan Carlotta. You see, when a
papa man goes downtown to make
money, everybody else is trying to
make money so fast that the papa
man comes home angry and acts
like our pet hen, Jessica, when the
cook throws dishwater on her"
The man in the corner, watching
a few scattering sentences, cooked
his ear. The Princess Wilhelmina
lay very still and listened.
1T is very foolish to flutter like
wet hens and growl like big Rajah
at the ZOO continued Carlotta.
But you see, dear, the papa man
doesn't know how silly he looks,
because some other man down
town got the same dollar he was
after-and the papa man is so
angry that he thinks he's a tiger,
you know"
The man turned a shameful red
and managed sickly grin. The
Dutch princess kept her lips parted
in an understanding smile.
Now" the child went on, "if the
papa man would play buck hOrsey
and hold the gates high and come
to see with you and see, he would
soon be so happy that he would not
be angry any more and he could
get that dollar back from the other
old, bothered man downtown"
Wilhelmina. fitting backward, al
lowed her drowsy Dutch eyes to
droop; but the man by the fire
actually chuckled.
"By George!" he muttered, "the
child's right" Then: Here, you
morality prattler-prop up the
royal Wilhelmina and let's have a
rip-roaring, foot stamping, ring
around-the-rosy game. Come on
you and the Dutch princess-all
hands around nowhere We go!"
And when her royal highness of
Holland in Dolldom reallp slept by
the side of the wise little mother
child and the fat, red papa man
sat in the easy chair, painting from
his hour of riotous play, he really
found the solution of that bull-bear
A-B-and-C deal, SO that next day he
acquired the other mems dollars
right along.
