“That Plush Bear has had many adventures,” said Mrs. Rowe to Joe’s mother.  “He fell out of a car window, he was buried in the sand, and he was carried out to sea.”  Of course she knew nothing of the time he had spent in the ice igloo of the little Eskimo boy.

“Yes,” said Mrs. Richmond, “Joe’s Donkey had many adventures, also.”

“And so did Herbert’s Monkey,” said that little boy’s mother.

“Adventures!  I should say so!” exclaimed the Plush Bear to the Donkey and Monkey, when they were alone for a moment.  “But I never want to fall into the ocean again!”

And he never did, I am glad to say.  I wish I might tell you more of the adventures of the Monkey, the Donkey, the China Cat and Plush Bear.  But this book is quite filled, as you may see.  Though of course I may write other books about other toys if you think you would like them.  But now we must say good-by to the Plush Bear.

THE END

HAPPY HOME SERIES

By Howard R. Garis

Individual Colored Wrappers and Colored Illustrations by Lang Campbell

Mr. Garis has written many stories for boys and girls, among them his Uncle Wiggly volumes, but these books are something distinctly new, surprising and entertaining.

ADVENTURES OF THE GALLOPING GAS STOVE

A tale of how Gassy mysteriously disappeared, and how he came riding home on the back of an elephant.  It is also related how he broke his leg, and fed a hungry family in a cottage near a lake.

ADVENTURES of the RUNAWAY ROCKING CHAIR

Racky creaked and groaned when fat Grandma sat on him too hard.  He felt himself ill-treated, so he vanished.  He did not intend to take Grandma’s glasses with him, but he did.  And he rocked a bunny to sleep.

ADVENTURES OF THE TRAVELING TABLE

Tippy, the table, always wanted to travel and see the world, but he did not know how to start.  Until, all of a sudden, a diamond ring was hidden in his leg and a balloon carried him off through the air.

ADVENTURES OF THE SLIDING FOOT STOOL

Just because he did not want to be used as a milking stool by the Maiden All Forlorn, Skiddy slid away Christmas eve.  With him went Jack the Jumper, and they had a wonderful time in the top shop.

ADVENTURES OF THE SAILING SOFA

Skippy always wanted to be a sailor.  When the high water came in the spring, the sofa went sailing.  He had a Rooster for a crew, while Tatter, the rag doll with one shoe button eye, was Captain.
