H“ HERE was once a very, very
old rag doll who lived In
a nursery. She was so old
that she had seen all the
children grow up —the boy
who wore trousers now,
the girl who had her hair
done la braids, the middle
sized child who had so
| often left the rag doll out In the gar
j den at night. There was only the baby
lleft —bless his pink toes!
i But the rag doll was very, very old.
and one beautiful Christmas time she
■ began to show her age.
hair had been combed so much
ithat it had come out dreadfully, and
her Mse, from a great deal of kissing.
Was entirely gone. Her pretty pink
cheeks had been washed away when
the boy tried to teach her to swim In
the bath tub, and
all her clothes ffj
were very untidy ®
The baby never
noticed all these - ;
things, but the
toys did; they all
made the most un- BM ( vMj rjf \
kind remarks to
dirty face,” said SL*
the large French
puiin the attic to
night." That’s
where toe old dolls go.” “Look at your
dress.” said the jumping jack. “It is
all tonn. I wouldn’t walk across the
nursery floor with you.”
“Did you ever see such thin hair?”
asked the hobhy horse. ‘‘l thought my
tail was thin, but it isn’t to be com
pared with that!”
But just then the nursery door
opened, and the Christmas Angel came
in. You could be perfectly sure that
it was the Christmas Angel even if site
did have on a gingham apron, because
her face shone so through the dark.
“The B’rench doll must go up to the
attic,” said the Christmas Angel.
“There is a more beautiful new best
doll coming.”
“Why, the jnck-in-the-box has for
gotten how to jump.”
You see the jack-in-the-box had been
so excited about the rag doii’s dress
that he had broken his spring.
“The jack-in-the-box must go up lo
the attic, too,” said the Christmas An
gel.
Then she went over to the hobby
horse.
“Poor, old hobby-horse!” she said.
“Your leg is very badly broken. I will
take you up to the attic until you
can be mended.”
“There.” the Christmas Angel said
at last, “the nursery is all tidy, and
ready for new toys —but, dear me,
what’s this? Why, it is the little rag
doll!”
“Oh, please, do I have to go to the
attic, too?" said the rag doll. “It’s
very cold there, and I know the best
doll will have the chimney comer for
herself —and 1 don’t want the mice to
gnaw my toes I”
“Why, you dear old thing!” said the
Christmas Angel. “Y’ou're the same
rag doll that I used to pluy with when
J was little. You go to the attic? Why,
I just guess not! We couldn’t get along
without you in the nursery. You do
need a little mending, but 1 am going
to sew you, and then you shall sit on
the very tiptop of the Christmas tree.”
The Christmas Angel lighted one of
Christmas candles so that she
could see to sew. Then she took the
rag doll in her lap and opened her
workbag and set to work.
First she stuffed the rag doll’s in
sides with plenty of cotton so she
could sit up. Then she sewed her toes
and put new little
* white stockings
W and black shoes
VfaSj Pl on her feet. She
took a piece of
clean, white cloth
and eovei ' e d the
rag doll's dirty
face, and painted
in lue eyes ancl
a smiling red
jtol mou **' and verm 11-
se wed on anew
yellow wig; and
then she made a
pink -and - whit*
'~-t checked gingham
dress with puffed
sleeves, and a white apron with strings
to keep the dress clean, and a pink
and-white checked sunbonnet to ti*
under the rag doll’s chin aud keep her
hair tidy.
"I think you will do now, you dear
old thing," said the Christmas Angel.
So It came Christmas morning, and
there on the tiptop of the tree sat the
rag doll quite made over. The chil
dren thought her really the most beau
tiful of all the Christmas things. As
for the rag doll herself —why, all the
pleasure of her old days was as noth
ing to the happiness that was hers
now. Carolyn S. Bailey, in Kinder
