Fanny, she brought with her two of her new dresses wtiich her mother
had Just made for her. One was of a soft voile in a bright yellow and
black check. The yoke was of white voile with little crocheted buttons trim
ming it.
Then sh« had i little blue taffeta with bands of gay red embroidery on waist,
skirt and sleeves. Her hat of folded ribbon was also in these colors, and she
looked very gay, even though she still wore her winter coat instead of a new
spring one. February days are a bit too cold to change to thin spring wraps.
She also brought with her her new school bag of bright red patent leather,
which was one 6f her Christmas presents.
You can imagine what fun she and Fashion Fanny had! They went to Sat
urday matinee, Fashion Fanny’s mother accompanying them, of course. They
went down town early so they would have plenty of time, and had lunch at one
of the large hotels. ,
Then Polly had her curls trimmed In the hair shop of one of the stores.
And then as they still had a few minutes before the theater, they went up to the
toy department and saw ever so many wonderful things. The frog that hopped
along the counter, the nodding lion, and the doll that cries “mamma,” and walks
about with a littlo help.
Goodness! llujt Polly and Fashion Fanny had a most scrumptious time, and
they’ll remember it for months to come.
