Elizabeth has very decided ideas about what her homo home must look like and she wasn't going to put up with the commonplace com com- commonplace made for young and dolls So Ludwig Lud had to have

tar car ar is i rather difficult for the midgets and they hope some lome day to have o ie e specially built to fit their tiny bodies And then they alto also had to buy a whole set of furniture for their gigantic acquaintances For how else elso could they entertain their friends That meant a number of large largo chairs and a n large table besides the tiny ones for themselves and their midget friends Including the brides bride's sisters who are ts too The Tho midget bedroom was the room that could have furniture of uni form size and it I is ls enough to tomake tomake tomake make any little girl with a n family of dolls very envious Thoro Tharo aro are a tiny bureau and and tho the tinie tiniest t little twin in beds to be found lound outside of the But the loom as ns the little bride

do- do doing doing do doing ing the the- housework not to ruin rain any of the diminutive furniture by stepping on it Naturally although they are the tho size of two y young ung children they like grown up grown amusements and their thoroughly adult tastes take them into mEo many many places en- en entirely en entirely patronized by giants They are always having to look away up at persons who aho ho talk to them like Gulliver in the land of the giants and like that lat famous adventurer they are always avoiding being stepped on in crowds of adults at nt evening affairs when other people of their dimensions lire are safely tucked as 8 away ay in bed Nor Non I I have they any of the special ad- ad advantages advantages ad advantages vantages of children When they go to the tho theaters they have to sit right up Against the stage in the very first row because if it they s should sit at behind any anyone iii anyone one they wouldn't see the performance Being entirely grown up they haven't a convenient parent on whose lap they might sit It If they havo have any advantage at alt all it itis is id that in their case for once two can live cheaper than one There is a II sav sav-

being upset by the amount of food eaten at a bite by the giants Inthe In th amazing story of his travels Gulliver says that his appetite was ruined by watching the queen of the country bite off a larks lark's wing nine nino times as big as that of a full grown turkey The Ludwigs having very grown up grown brains are philosophical about their plight and profess to find the greatest advantages in never having grown up Mrs Ludwig who except for her e sizo size is a perfectly normal and very good looking young woman oman had to have hate every ery bit of her trousseau made especially to order
