 Then Rsggedy Andy took a stone and rapped upon the door, "Nok! Nok! Nok." Who's trying to tear down my front door" a great big large grovly voice cried.
 Gracious" Raggedy Ann said, Tt sounds like giant"
 Only giants are not so mean sounding!" Ragedy Andy said.
 What do you want?" the great growIy voice asked as a large fierce looking Bear poked his head out of the window,
 Dear me. We just wanted 10 see Mama Bear" Raggedy Ann said.
 Well you can't see her" the greatly growly bear howled. She is making doughnuts out in the kitchen and I have her tied to the table so she can't ever escape"
 Then we shall go aVay!' Rag Eedy Ann said as she got upon her magic scooter and rode out the front gate.

 Indeed. We shalI.' kaggedy Ann said, I've will circle around and slip up to the kitchen and res- cue Mama Bear. That's what we shall do"
 So the Raggedys circled around and left their magic scooters in the bushes then they crcpt slyly up to the kitchen door.
 Mama Rear was so surprised 10 see her old friends, she almost made enough noise 10 awaken the great growlv gruff Bear in the other room
 What do you think. Raggedy Andy" Mama Bear whispered, This mean old growly, gruff Bear has kept me tied to the table here for three months and makes me do all the work and never gives me anything but cuffs and bites for my trouble."
 We knew that he was a mean creature as soon as we heard him. Easgedy Ann said. Whenever you hear anyone. even very litne person speak gruff and angrily. then you may know that they are mean and disagreeable-"
 What shall do?" Mama Bear asked.

Dear syd: After you left last night, Zoo Ellington became much worse and died this morning at about ten o'clock, without regaining her senses,

 Shoe salesmen are tussy some times, and the purchaser takes q shoe that does not suit. Then that person is fussy as long as he wears that shoe.
 Saturday afternoons and Saturday nights are bad times to go into a shoe store. The salesmen arc too busy 10 give good service.
