Dorothy and Davie Dear sat on
the steps of the side porch. Davie
was Boosting of the things he would
do, or rather the things he would
not do when he grew up. He was
going to sell papers, ne declared,
and go barefooted all the time. and
buy bananas from the man on the
corner and stand right there and
eat them.
And maybe I'll buy more when
I've eaten them all up" Davie
added with a triumphant toss OF
his head.
"Humph! | call that pigglsh,
said Dorothy.
Anyway, Davie Dear, you're just
talking" she added after a moment,

time when you grow up. Father
doesn't and Mr. Brown doesn't and
even Henry, the handy man,
doesn't. l don't believe, dorothy
frowned and paused to think 1

After which he jumped to his feet,
announcing that he was going over

DAVE did not answer. Camping
his little "half-a-hat" on the back
of his shaggy head, he scampered
around the house and across the
street. calling loudly as ne new
"Fra-ank! o Fra-anki

'.Tel me something | don

"All right" he cried. well do it..
First of all we'll have to build our
stand. Where'd be good place to

eyebrows drawn close together,
Frank debated. Then he said:

rest ON the fence, and there won't
be so much to build. You wait here.
I'll ask her." And into the house
