! Many Little Girls Macfe
I Happy With Bee Dolls
I Katie Baker winner of one of the Bee dolls last
week, lives in the country on a farm. She hasn't any broth-
ers or sisters and sometimes gets pretty lonesome. She
I has always wanted a big brother to go to school with her
and to protect her from (the old gander and the .white
rooster that flies at her. That's why she selected the
I t sturdy farmer boy doll. But alas ! Instead of being a big
brother to Katie, he's in a hospital and Katie is his nurse.
It all came about in this way: Katie has a little fox ter-
rier that is very devoted to her and when he found her
I playing with Tom, her dolly, instead of him, he became
jealous and one day . when Katie wasn't looking, he
... grabbed Tom in his mouth and was shaking him like a
rat when Katie saw him and came to the rescue, but poor
I Tom such a sight. clothes were all torn off and he
I was cut and bruised in many places. Practical little Katie
mended his cuts and wrapped Tommy all up in bandages
I and now sits by him while she makes his new clothes.
Here are the names of the little girls who won dolls
