gars thought, "Let her go, and when she has gone, we will go in her house and find the Raggedys. Then when she returns with the doughnuts and meats. we will take the things away from her and eat them for our dln- ner." So they let the old woman go SO they could search the house.
 As soon as she was away from the house, the old woman ran as fast as she could until she came to large stone. Then she took the Rag gedys from her basket and laid them upon the ground and rolled the stone on top of them.
 And as she rolled the stone from it's place, Granny Hoppytoad, who had been sleeping under it. rubbed his eyes, but said nothing, for he knew, as soon as the old woman left, he would rescue the Raggedys
 Now I will go to the grocery, the old woman said out loud as she walked down the path.
 As soon as she was out of sight, Granny Hoppytoad got a large stick and rolled the stone from Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, then they all caught hold of hands and ran as fast as they could.

made me think that you are quite happy
 Leslie and the boys are very well, indeed. She has been packing up the apartment and we expect to leave for Pittsburgh the last of next week. She has gone bugs on the subject of Early American antidui- ties, and in this l am sure you would be much in sympathy for I have never known a family that had as many beautiful pieces of old ma hogany and other heirlooms as ours.
 The other day Leslie informed me that she had had the paper taken from the walls of an old house and was going to have 1t put on the walls of our dining room. I had no idea that such thing could be done, but we must live and Nearn. for she explained that this was done very frequently nowadays.
 Miss Anderson seems to think that you are we'll enough to do without her companionship. want you to keep her as long as you wish her, and as long as she will stay.
 wish you could see your new grandchild and Leslie. and I extend to you a most cordial invitation to come and see Us for at least a month as soon as we arrive In Pittsburgh
 I think you will enjoy yourself with Leslie more than you ever did before, as your tastes for old furni- ture I know will prove of mex. haustible interest.
 Affectionately your son,

No one knew any better than I the fastidi- ous standards of feminine pulchri- tude which my husband cherished. But never before had I been con- pelled to face the slightest word of criticism from him. Always he had kept up the declaration made in the hectic days of his tempestuous woo- ing, that in lines, features and color- ing l was his ideal. Even when I had seen his beauty-longing eyes attracted by other types. like Grace Draper Claire Foster, Edith Fair fax, Mollie Tawcett--he never by word nor glance had disparaged me.

"There is one nice thing about De- ing stuffed down in the old womans iron trunk" Raggedy Ann Whlsper- ed to Raggedy Andy. .. And what is that, Raggedy Ann Raggedy Andy asked.
 "The iron trunk Is so thick we can only faintly hear the howls or the three fierce wild Cougars who are waiting outside to capture us ana take us to their home to make us into beef stew" Raggedy Ann re- piled.
 That was indeed true. The Reg redvs could hardly hear the howls of Charlie and Karlie and hehneth Congar as they sat around the old woman's house and howled ever ana ever so loudly. ,, My goodness! wish they would run home!" the old woman sald' "They make me nervous" And she went to the door and said why In the world do you three fierce wild cougars sit there bowling so dismal ly? Why don't you run homo? e?
 we wish Raggedy Ann and Rag Tedy Andy, that's why!" the three fierce wild cougars cried.
 Y spect if you would run along the path through the woods until VOL came to the brook, you would find the Raggedys sitting upon log watching the pretty fish in the water." the old woman said.

Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy shut up ln my iron trunk, the three wild Cou' gers will bite my heels You see inc old woman still thought the three wild cougare were friends oi the Raggedys, for the cougars had not told the old woman they wished the Raggedvs to make beef stew.
 So. the three fierce wild cougars howled all night and tn poor ol( woman did not get any sleep, no' did any of the three fierce wilc conugars.
 In the morning. they were als' very hungry too and this made then howl very much louder than usual

Then she un locked the iron trunk and took Rag gedy Ann and Eaggcdy Andy ou and tied cloths around their mouths
 "I do not wish you to call you friends. the three fierce cougars { rescue you, so l will fix it so you ca not talk at all.
