"Thank you. Jack." said Buttercup; Infant Jesus, \ at last; "I shall never pretend to admire that new creature." "You should run away," advised the .iMck-m-iln'-liox: "let theui see yutt care nothing for thorn. That's what I do. 1 meditate here In my corner, instead of joining in foolish games." "I don't heed anybody ta advise mo to run away." said Buttercup. "I do cided that before: only I came here to say good-bye lirst." Buttercup left the toy cupboard and went through the hall into the spare bedroom. The wardrobe door was not fastened and she peeped in.

"You must ask the brown dress: she i is mistress here," said the silk dress. Buttercup was rather astonished, but : she turned to the brown dress and re- I pea ted her request. "Certainly." said | itic brown dress. "I don't know you. j 1 ?nt I suppose you belong to Daisy." | All down the front of the brown dross | and on tlio sleeves there were great holes, and as Buttercup looked at tbeiu she w<?udt red why an old-fashioned cloth dress with hides in it should be i of more Importance than the beautiful j silk dress. Perhaps the silk dress guessed what she was thinking, for it said; "Do you know why we tfiink so much of the brown dress?'* "No!" said Buttercup. "Will you tell me?" "More than a year ago." said the silk dress. "Daisy set herself on fire, and perhaps she would have been burned to death if her mother had not caught her up and put out the flames with her own dress. That is why Daisy's mother loves the brown dress more than any otiier she has got.
