was a rag doll, you see, but oh. she
very nice to hug.
"'You won't tell me whether you
are pleased or not said Mrs. Cucum-
ber-Green. but ! know you are, pre-
-cious old Allie Baa'
And then Allie Baa got fine hug
I must set to work at once said Mrs
Cucumber-Green Allie Baa. you must
not keep me from my work
allie Baa didn't say anything to
this. but she looked as though she
would not keep her mother from work
any more.
And such palace or castle or fort
rs Mrs. Cucunber-Green did make, II
was like fine, fine dolls house
that is sometimes seen lu wonderful
shops.
There were rooms and halls. There
was an upstairs and n downstairs.
and there were doors and windows. No
dolls house for whole family OF dolls
could have been better. aud allie Baa's
rag face looked very shining and beam
ing and happy as she saw what n
gorgeous winter home she was to
have.
During the time that this beautiful
home was being built by Mrs. Cucum-
ber-Green. Allie Baa sat on sled
called Clear-the-Track, because il
went so fast that everything had TO
get out of its way.
"Allie Baa was dressed in a warm
| pink sweater and pink scarf and pink
| cap-all to match-which Mrs. Gu
cumber- Green's mother had made for
! Allie.
THE home for Allie grew more won
dcrful every moment. And what an
honor to think that instead OF being
q home for many dolls il was home
| for one doll. though, of course. Allie
Baa would never have been so selfish
| that all the other dolls couldn't have
| shared her home with her.
allie Baa loved TO share things any
| way. That's what made her such
q nice doll-thst. and a good many
other reasons too.
"Well. after time the home was
| built and there was fort near by
| so Allie could be well looked after IN
| the soo.'bah fights between Mrs. Cur
| cumber-Green's brother and his
| friends.
Mrs. cucumber-Green had built the
| house near the fort. The fort had
many holes so the people inside could
see out and know just what the other
side were doing.
''0f. how proud Allie Baa was TO
think that her home was near the great
/ fors and that she had so many floors
and doors and windows in her home.
"'we'll play here when the. sur

Allie Baa. for at other times it viii

A Vermont woman followed the adj
vice of her numerous friends in order
to ward off influenza. The program was
as follows: "Take salts three morn
