"Oh, Ned!" she exclaimed, "you knot? I want to gol I always love to go row ing with you. But look at my doilsv all over the porchl It will take me IS min utes to put them n.wny, and by that time It will bo late for starting." "That It will," replied Ned as he looked at tho dolls, "you surely hatfe tllerrt The paper dot' ens and alt hopped onto the tittle breete't back and rdtfe all over the yard. spread nil over everywhere. "Why do you bother to pick them up now? There Is no Wind blowing this afternoon. Why not leavo them right here, and then when wo get home you can take yDuf time to picking them all up nicely?" You see, Ned knew how neat and par tlcular his sister wns about her dolls. "All right, that's Just what I'll dot" cried Mary Jane happily, And away eht ran for her big sun hat. And off she and Ned went to tho river. Left nil by themselves, the paper dolls looked nt each other dismally. "Just when we wero nil having such ft. fins tlmel" they exclaimed. "How could she) go away and leave us? Didn't she re member that we were to have the big wedding and procession In flvo minutest Didn't sho know wo would get tired sit ting around In our best clothes?" But there was no use In asking questions no Mary Jane was there to answer them. Aftor a whllo the dolls stopped fretting and worrying, and began to wonder If they couldn't plan something to do all by themselves. "Always before," sold ono of the big gest dolls, "when wo havo been left nlone wo hnvo been shut up tight In tha pasteboard box. Now, maybe this t our chanco to see the -world." "See tho worldl" exclaimed tho bride lady doll. "How can I seo the world with this long dress and train? And a veil that covers mo nil over? If I only had on a common dress I would go with you." "And wo have on our dress suits!" ex clalmcd all tho gentlemen dolls In a breath; "If only some one "would put on our traveling suits for us we could go with you." "Wc can't go while we carry these flower bankets," cried all the little chil dren dolls, who were dressed as pages nnd flower maids for tho wedding. "Can't you plan something that we can do with you?" "Couldn't you walk around the yard In those clothes?" he finally asked, "I wouldn't think that would hurt dresses or suits." And the paper dolls all agreed with him. But how to go around ecn the yard was the question. Fortunately, Just at that very minute, ono of the oak tree fairies came tripping by and heard all tho paper dolls Bald. 'Excuso me," Interrupted the oak tree fairy politely, when she saw the paper dolls needed help. "Maybe I can be ot assistance. It seems to me that you need n breeze." "Indeed, wo do!" cried the paper dolls nil together, "we need one badly." So the oak tree fairy slipped around tho corner of tho house and got a breeze, nnd tho paper dolls ono and all hopped onto the little breeze's back and rods nil over the yard. They had n beautiful time, and they visited the wholo yard every bit of It but whut DO you suppose Mary Jane thought when she got back home and found her dolls a-vlsltlngl h.
