good friend in the workshop of Santa Claus, at the North Pole, but I have not seen him for a long time." "Who was that?" asked the China Cat. "He was a Plush Bear," answered the Nodding Donkey. "A most wonderful Plush Bear! When he was wound up he moved his head and his paws and he growled as natural as anything." "Oh, tell me about him!" mewed the China Cat. "Tell me about the Plush Bear." The Nodding Donkey was just going to do this when Jennie and Joe came into the room and the toys had to remain quiet, not even talking. But I happen to know the story of the Plush Bear, and it is to be the very next one I tell you of these Make Believe Stories. Of course Snowball had many more good times while she lived with Jennie, which she did for many years. She often had fun with the Nodding Donkey and other toys. One day Joe came over to Jennie's house, carrying his Nodding Donkey, a toy which was seldom out of his arms. "Oh, Jennie!" cried Joe, "let's have a picnic in the woods for our toys. I'll take my Donkey, you can take your China Cat and I'll get Dorothy, Dick and the others to bring their toys." "Oh, what fun to have a Toy Picnic!" exclaimed Jennie. And the Nodding Donkey and the China Cat looked at one another most happily. They liked good times. The Toy Picnic was a great success, and how the boys and girls did laugh when the China Cat fell into the brook! "But it doesn't hurt her," said Jennie, "and I was going to give her a bath, anyhow, 'cause I got some sticky candy on her tail." The Cat, herself, was glad to be washed and clean, and here we must leave her, having fun as she is with the other toys. THE END HAPPY HOME SERIES By HOWARD R.
