THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1921 Sokig§r Rc^fiffe 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.
