broom! Take me to where Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy are hiding!' And of course the flying broom car ried Wanda Witch right through the deep, deep woods to the soda water spring, for that was right where the Raggedys and little Ned Gnome had run.
 Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and little Ned Gnome were at the soda water spring drinking lovely vanilla sodas and eating the candy covered cookies which grew upon the bushes nearby.
 Of course Witches never drink soda water, at least Wanda Witch had never tasted any and when she saw the Raggedys and little Ned Gnome drinking the vanilla sodas, she thought they were just drinking plain every day spring water because they were thirsty. So Wanda Witch picked out one of her magic charms from her little pocket book. It was a piece of blue bottle and very good magical charm if had only been used for good magic.
 q wish the water would turn green!" Wanda Witch said after she had rubbed the charm three times with her left hand.
 And of course, just as soon as she said this, the soda water turned green. Dear mel" Little Ned Gnome said. What is the matter with our soda water spring, Raggedy Ann?"
 Raggedy Anne looked at the spring and saw that 1t had turned green, then she dipped up cup full and

tasted it. She did not know that Wanda Witch was peeping out of the bushes.
 "Oh, goodies" Raggedy Ann cried when she tasted the new green soda water. Tt has changed from vanilla flavor to lime flavor and is ever so much better than it was before!" So she dipped up a cup full for little Ned Gnome and another for Raggedy Andy. And when Wanda Witch say they were drinking the green soda water she grew so angry she ran right home to tell her sister, Winda Witch, to come and help her work magic which would catch the Rag gedys. I'll get Raggedy Ann's Wish ing Pebble and Raggedy Andy's Wishing Stick the next time" she howled as she flew through the woods on her flying broom. But the Raggedys and little Ned Gnome never knew that she had been near them and so just went on having a delightful picnic all by themselves.

Sweaters have been used for play ing tennis for so long that a blouse is a very welcome change. Besides, Ia little short -sleeved blouse. like the one on the lady in the illustration, Is infinitely cooler to dash aroung a tennis court in. It is cut with large armholes, so as to give plenty of room for free movement of the arms, and Is long enough not to slide up above the belt of the skirt in any embarrassing way.
 The blouse is made of white linen, or any other good-looking, washable stuff, and the trimming is in va- riety of bright colors. Across the shoulder on one side a decorative group of flowers has been appliqued. These are cut out of gayly colored material and sewed on with large stitches of worsted. All around the edge of the round neck, armholes and bottom an edging is embroidered in three tones of the wool.
 Then to finish the blouse at either side of the bottom, long pieces of narrow matching silk ribbon are at tached, tying in bows when the blouse is being worn. Tn this simple way the blouse fits snug and smartly about the hips. The skirt worn with the blouse really should be pleated and rather short so that in every re- spect one has a perfect costume for tennls.
