there, with flavor, size and texture

When buying some look at "The
BUSY Billies," by Virginia Olcott, the
cutest and most interesting new
book for young children. The col

show the quaint Busy Billie fairies,
who are really the child's conscience,
in an amusing way, and through the
delightful stories runs a moral so
clothed, however, as not to weary the
child.
