r-jf * And Her friends
the Paper Doff that Sets the Styles
Cousin Bobby Disappoints Fanny
HEN Fashion Fanny first heard that
her 7-year-old cousin, Bobby, was
coming to pay them a visit she was
delighted.
“He’s not so old but that he’ll probably
be glad to play dolls with me,” she said to
her mother. “And I can take him to danc
nig class, too.”
But when Bobby actually arrived
Fashion Fanny was not so happy as she ex
pected to be. Bobby had brought with
him his dog, Tige, who immediately chased
Fanny’s cat, Petunia, through the house,
out of the door and up the elm tree in the
backyard. And it was more than a half
hour before Fanny could get, her to come
down.
Then, too, Bobby had a large red ball
which he kicked about wherever he pleased
and when it hit Fashion Fanny in the back
he only laughed.
Bobby was very fond of his dog. “He’s
a nawful good pup,” he proudly affirmed.
And in this he was right, for Tige
gnawed up Fashion Fanny’s best pair of kid
gloves, the covers of several books and one
corner of the living room rug before he and
his master finished their visit. A
I’m afraid that both Fanny and her
mother were a bit glad when Bobby and
Tige at last departed for their home.
“You know, mamma," confided Fanny
when they were alone, “I believe I like boys
much better who are younger or older than
Bobby. Then they eitheY don’t know so
much, or else they know' lots more than
he doeH.”
