1--WE now greet the three coolie
dolls" said Hanako as she placed
them on the fourth step. They were
dressed in palmer clothes and car
ried brooms and brushes to show
that they did the household work.
Then came little platform hold
ing some doll actors who were Civ
ing play.
At dinner time there was COM
pany and Mrs. Tanako's little maid
servant heaped trays with good
things to put before the guests.
There were hot soups which every
one drank, and blue and white
bowls full of rice. There was gold
en- brown fish served'with preserved
apricots, green chrysanthemum
leaves in yellow batter, and bam-
boo shoots and mushrooms dipped
In custard, and of course every one
used chopsticks.
After dinner Hanako went visit
ing other little girls all up and
down the street, and she carried
gifts for them in her kimono
sleeves.
"Alas, the smiling sun is going
far away" said Hanako, as the
third day Of March ended. "The
most beautiful dolls must go again
into the big chest. OF all Doll Fes-
tivals this has been best" She
cuddled down into her quilts.

Hanako's Holiday

Little Hanako Tanako opened
her eyes slowly. She raised her
black head from the wooden pillow
and stared at the sunlight coming
through the paper walls.
She rolled quickly out Of bed,
which was made of soft quilts piled
on the floor. She put on her gay
est, brightest kimono with big red
flowers on it, her white stockings
which had places made for the big
toes, and she slipped her feet into
her red sandals.
Good morning, little Ones" said
q gentle voice as her mother came
into the room. "We are glad that
honorable sun most kindly shines
upon this great day Of dolls" Mrs.
Tanako pushed back the sliding

walls and let the sunshine and the
playful breezes of March pour into
the room.
''Now may we have the beautiful
steps?" Hanako asked after she
had eaten her BREAKFAST. She
watched eagerly as her mother took
out of a big chest five steps covered
with red silk. At the top of the
steps she placed dazzling golden
screen.
"Here come most honorable en-
peror and empress" said Hanako,
taking two dolls from her mothers
hand.
Hanako placed each royal doll
on the top step in front Of the
golden screen.
'Next come the ladies-in-waiting," "
said Hanako. She arranged the
three dolls in their bright kimonos
on the step below the royal family.
Here are the orange and cherry
trees which are like the trees at
the gate Of the royal palace" said
her mother.
Hanako put the gay little trees
at each end of the third step, with
q royal sentinel beside them. In
between them she placed the court
musicians who were seated cross
legged on soft cushions.
snow we prepare the fourth
STEP" counted Hanako with hap
py smile. For q whole year she
had waited to see again all these
beautiful dolls, for these were the
special dolls which were used only
on the day of the Doll Festival,
when every little japanese girl had
q holiday.
Later the boys would have their
holiday, when queer paper fishes
would fly from tall poles and the
boys would fly kites and have kite
races.
