French ministry of foreign affairs, The Raggy Dolls Go to France in a Valentine Box There were two raggy dolls tfiat longed to serve their country. They couldn't make speeches and they couldn't make gardens. .The only thing they could do successfully was to smile. The two raggy dolls belonged to Laura and Mary Anna. These little girls are now little sisters of a soldier, because at the beginning of the war their big brother, who was in college, sailed away to France to be a soldier in a Red Cross hospital. f "This we can do to serve our country," said one raggy doll to the other; "we can be cheerful and smile, and smile, and smile." Of course Laura and Mary Anna didn't hear the raggy dolls make this remark, but they , did notice that when they sang the song about packing up your troubles and smiling, no matter what, the two raggy dolls did smile, and smile, and smile. It seemed to be the only thing the raggy dolls could do to serve their country. One day Laura and Mary Anna asked the raggy dolls if they were willing to go with a valentine box to France, just to hold things and fill in the corners. The raggy dolls were glad to hold things and fill in the corners, and - they were not afraid; so away they sailed over the broad Atlantic with gifts for the soldier-brother. One of the best things you can do In a hospital where you have no other duties is to smile cheerfully; so, when the raggy dolls surprised the soldier-brother in France by tumbling out ot the corners ot his valentine box in his Red Cross hospital, they looked up at him and smiled. He tried to smile too, but it may be that at first the raggy dolls made that big boy feel a bit homesick, and it may be that he didn't really know what to do with the dolls. - That, is . how it came about that the two dolls who so longed to be of service that they had crossed the ocean were put away and forgotten in a foreign land. At last, one February day a whole year later, when the soldierbrother, who was still stationed in France, was looking over his belongings, up bobbed the raggy dolls, bright and smiling. When he noticed them the soldier smiled too, and laid them on his table. Soon la came two French maids

PALLADIUM. SATURDAY. FEB. 1.

Qual d' Orsay, Paris, and view of sessions are held. to do the scrubbing; they were the hospital scrubbing girls and they were not smiling when they came into the room; but when they saw the raggy dolls they were straightway surprised and happy. They picked them up and looked carefully to see how they were dressed, because of course they knew that raggy dolls were needed in France. The French girls sawMn a minute how those raggy dolls were put togetherfor this really happened Just a bit ot white cloth with heads stuffed with anything convenient, and tied under the chins, bodies made , of nothing much, wound around and around the bit ot cloth left hanging beneath the necks, and arms made of white strips and knotted at the ends where hands should be. Those French girls saw that the dresses were nothing but scraps of cloth with holes cut In the center to slip over the heads, anad that slits were made for armholes, and that sashes were tied under their arms, and that three-cornered bits of nothing much made bonnets tied under their chins. The raggy dolls could understand French talk Just as easily as they understood the English language, and they just as easily told their secrets in French as In English, so theyknew that those two girls of France Intended to give families of raggy dolls is little French children for Valentine's day. They had reason to smile. The soldier-brother couldn't understand fast French talk, but be smiled when the girls straightened out the raggy dolls' arms and then hung them on the wall between the pictures of Laura and Mary Anna, all under the American flag. Then there was a little smiling minute in France. The scrubbing girls smiled, the soldier smiled, and the raggy dolls smiled as if they liked to do military duty In a Red Cross hospital "Over there." From that day to this, all who walk into the soldier-brother's room or passed his open door, look np at the dolls between the little sisters' pictures, and smile, and some day soon, when the soldier-brother comes sailing home across the blue water, he may leave the raggy dolls in France, to stay there and smile for little French, girls, who need smiles. Now if you think It Is easy to smile and smile no matter what, like raggy dolls in foreign service, yon just try It a year! Woman's Home Companion.
