The next place that the March Hare and the Twins went to was the Rag Man's house. “It's high time the Rag Man was getting out and gathering up the rags in the rag bags,” said the March Hare in a business-like voice. “People can’t get their garrets cleaned out with so many old rags sticking around. Hop on, children.” So, as I sald before, they hopped on the hare's back and seon they | came to the Rag Man's house and knocked on the front door. “Come in,” said a hearty voice.

On the hearth by the fire sat a tabby cat washing her face. A big dog got up from the floor, wagging a greeting with his tail, and looking as friendly as little black Sambo at a watermelon party. Two canaries in o cago were singing. Some goldfish were swimming around fazily in a ie bowl and looking as happy as fish can look. A vase of roses stood on a table by the window—on another table stood a radio. e There were pictures and and oh, just everything! "Oh!" said Nancy—her eyes round with wonder. “Jiminy!" round, too.
