that you can hang on . string. and. II
you wear II at night, v keeps away
dreams about COLLINS that eat nice
little girls and sweet Tips. But Fan
was always odd.
Yesterday while Tip and ! were
playing on the porch noticed that
Tip and I knew that Fan was up to
some flendishness. Well. we sneaked
up to her room.
Fan was sitting In front Of her
white enameled dressing table. with
the sunshine just pouring in ON her
and setting her head on fire. And she
had her hand up to her face and was
flashing that diamond back and forth
In the light First she'd put her finger
to her cheek and smooth II like this.
and then she'd pretend to NJ the net
on her front hair. All the while she
vas making smirky eyes At the red
and blue and violet lights that kept
shooting all over her hand.
Then. because she thought she was
alone. not thinking that lovely Tip
and I could see her. she bent over
and kissed the ring. oh. q million
times. Fan IL certainly getting odd.
Ask Tip II you don't believe me. When
she looked up her eyes were all wet.
- II she'd been crying. but can't
see what for. because she and had
been peaceful. Anyway. II was all 20
funny that I clutched sweet Tip for
support and happened to grab hold Of
his ear. because I didn't look to see
what was doing. for didn't want to
take my eyes on silly Fan. Then Tip
let out the laughing howl, thinking It
was . game. you see. Fan heard II
and up she jumped like lightning. and
slammed the door right against Tips
nose!
That was enough for me! To hurt
Tips feelings like that, and he so gen.
teel! hammered with both lists on
her door and then I kicked. After
that Tip and went out to the swing
70 think up something.
That afterpeon the house was Just
ffke Q funeral. Fan showed me away
when I went to see what lacy thing
she was sewing on the front porch.
Tip said I suddenly. lets play
gypsy. You can be Bedreddin Hassan
Saleh Amina and I'll be Esmeralda
Bahia Abdaiia- And well steal Fans
clothes and put them on and sneak
down 10 meet poor Mr.. John, because
he's probably coming for dinner"
OF course Tip was crazy glad to do
- I said. 30 we went up to Fans
room. First thing hauled out her
red empire with the black jet. II was
lovely on dear Tip! And he tumbled
| over II so sweet and rumpled 1t up az
| cunning as could be. for II was too
long and tr~iled all over the floor
! about him. Fans amber beads on his
| blessed neck were too edifying! After
that I slipped her green silk gloves on
his front legs and wound up the hind
| ones with her automobile veil. Then
I tied her white hat with the blue
| aigrettes on his lovely head and
turned Bedreddin Hassan Saleh Amins
loose. as perfect a. . lily.
| Fans bracelets and rings wouldn't
Mt Tips ears. SO saved them for me
and had a terrible time dressing. be
cause the bracelets wabbled SO on my
ankles. and I had to keep my thumbs
linked all the time for fear the rings
would slip on. In the meanwhile Tip
got crazy to see himself and wa
laughing so nearly let the sweet dog
tumble out Of my arms while I held
him up to the mirror to admire his
beauty. When he saw how cute he
was he got frisky and wanted to run
70 meet poor Mr.. John. 30 I had tc
pounce into Fans bronze satin slip
psrs and her white lace coat and heI
black wolfe skirt. I stuck all her fancy
hat pins ID my hair.
