ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
IN THE STORE WINDOW
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

"We wonder" said the wax ladies
in the store window, "how she is
taking it. We just wonder"
I'll tell you what they meant.
They were really not wax ladies at
all. They were baby dolls-Sally
Wiggleton's dolls that she got for
Christmas.
One she had spanked, and one she
had soaked, and one she had almost
scalped. so they begged the Fairy
Queen to take them .away.
That she did, by changing them
+ into wax Figures that wear pretty
clothes in store windows.
So when they said, I'VE wonder
how she is taking it, they meant
1--WE wonder how Sally Wiggleton
feels about US being made into wax
ladies, and being left without sim
gle doll to comfort her in her old
age"
But Sally didn't know they were
wax ladies.
All she did know was that they
were gone. The Fairy Queen had
| left note for her saying that they
had gone back to the store they
came from.
"Oh dear mel" sobbed Sally throw
ing herself on the bed. 81 did love
them SO! l didn't mean to spank
Belinda, or soak Mary Pickford, or
pull the hair off Mrs. Jiggs. I'm so
sorry"
She got up and put on her hat and
coat and went out.
"Im going to the store and see
how they look" she said.
Sally had to pass the window that
the wax ladies were in, but in her
anxiety to get into the store she
hardly saw them.
"There she goes" they said staring
at her with their distant eyes.
Suddenly the wax lady who had
been Mrs. Jiggs tainted. Fell clear
over in the window-she did.
81 knew that fur coat was too
heavy for that figure!" cried the
store-keeper rushing out.
He didn't know that it was faint
and that the little girl beside him
had caused it.
He set Mrs. Jiggs-I mean the
wax lady in the fur. coat-up again.
She had quite recovered.
The store keeper went back into
the store but Sally stood still and
looked and looked into the window.
"They do look familiar someh ow,"
she said over and over.
The wax ladies were talking to-
gether quite silently.
81 like her." said Mary Pickford
suddenly. 81 don't care if she did
soak me. / like her and I'd rather
be doll than wax lady any day.
It's nothing to stand here like a
dummy from morning till night and
get nothing but stares. have a
feeling that it's only my clothes peo-
pie admire anyway"
"Me tool" said Belinda. "A spank
ing does one good now and then. I
hate being a pink wax lady. That
room at Sally's house had a good
smell. It smelled like home and this
doesn't"
"Oh. dear!" said Mp Jiggs who
had recovered completely. 81 do
wish l was back. What if she did
pull my hair out! 1t wasn't worth
! much to begin with"
Sally just stood staring.

many, you who would substitute
blocs for parties in America.
The Germans have had two cleo
tons within a year, neither of which
settled anything though the people
voted right, botI times.
With the multi-party system, the
decision is made, not by the vote
of the people, at the election, but by
the trading of politicians afterward.
No party ever had a majority in
the Reichstag. The coalition, after
the spring election, lasted barely
long enough to squeeze the Dawes
plan through, by buying votes for a
consideration which it proved i'm
possible to deliver.
The coalition after the fall cleo
tion is precariously just forming.
There are two possible majority
groupings, one on foreign policies
and the other on domestic issues.
On whichever basis the govern
ment is finally formed, the other is
able to undermine it, and certain
to do so.
American parties may have be-
come absurd enough. Bloc coalitions
are worse.
