She was going to visit her uncle and aunt in a very large city. She hail taken trips before in automobiles anil on trains but she lial always traveled In the daytime. Oil, if was so exciting traveling at night, lint she did lind it very confusing con-fusing when she wanted a drink of water. She pressed the faucet with the warm water when she was getting a drink, and pressed the faucet with the cold water when she was bathing before be-fore she went lo bed. After .she got in her berth she raised the curtain of the window and looked out. Everywhere there was snow. The country looked just the same In each place as they hurried along through the night. There were houses; lights could be seen from time to time, but everywhere every-where the ground was covered with snow. Then the scenery changed and they sped along by a river. There were chunks of ice in the river and snow had rested on the ice. Soon the hills became higher and taUer and larger and they looked so strange and so beautiful in the night light. Rosemary wished she had brought her doll along with her. She knew her doll would have liked looking out Soon the Hills Became Higher, of the window as she did, but then her doll would wait for her and be taken care of very well, indeed. She wouldn't have such a good time in the city as Rosemary would have, for Rosemary wouJd so to so many places and see so many people and the dol! couldn't go to all of them. Yes, it had been better leaving the doll home, but 'she did know the doll would enjoy this part of the trip being in bed and yet looking out Into the niht while the (rain sped rapidly nlnnjr. Her dnlJ's name was Annette named after her mother and her aunt. The doll hud blue eyes and golden hair and long brown lashes and was quite a big doll. She could walk if Rosemary held, her hand and helped her. At last Rnseniary fell asJeep and the next Ihing she knew she was in the big city. Oh, what pwiteinenls there were in the fiiy. She rie in the subway, right under the ground. And she went to the theater, and she visited so many people, and ate so many meals.
