While the other members of the
Tabby family were all tied up with
measles, and medicine, and hot

Grandma Tabby was sometimes too
good to Tottie. She let Tottie and
Fannie Hicks do ANYTHING they
wanted.
Fannie Hicks lived just across the
street in a very small house. She
was a poor girl but very pleasant
playmate. and often came over to
stay with Tottie while Grandmother
Tabby in her best bonnet, and silk
dress, made calls.
This day, Tottie was so well, and
Fannie so willing to come over and
stay that Grandma decided to make
her calls, and take Miss Flax, the
