ONCE upon a time there was a village shop. The name over the window was "Ginger and Pickles."

It was a little small shop just the right size for Dolls—Lucinda and Jane Doll-cook always bought their groceries at Ginger and Pickles.

ONCE upon a time there was a very beautiful doll's-house; it was red brick with white windows, and it had real muslin curtains and a front door and a chimney.

THIS is a fierce bad Rabbit; look at his savage whiskers, and his claws and his turned-up tail.

Though flattered by imitators galore Miss Potter's work stands supreme. Her many picture stories should be among the first books owned by children.

It is said that the effect of eating too much lettuce is "soporific."
I have never felt sleepy after eating lettuces; but then I am not a rabbit.

THE TALE OF TOM KITTEN BY BEATRIX POTTER
Author of "The Tale of Peter Rabbit", &c.

Once upon a time there were three little kittens, and their names were Mittens, Tom Kitten, and Moppet.

This is a Pussy called Miss Moppet, she thinks she has heard a mouse!

This is the Mouse peeping out behind the cupboard, and making fun of Miss Moppet. He is not afraid of a kitten.

This is Miss Moppet jumping just too late; she misses the Mouse and hits her own head.
