20 A DANDY IDEA

Mary Jenkins likes badges. She has club badges, fun badges, festival badges, fancy badges, plain badges. But alas, she had so many badges she didn't know what to do. When people asked how her garden of badges was growing, she replied: With cockle shells, and silver bells, and square-made plastics all in a row. Often she and Bill would go up the hill (to their home, which overlooks the Adirondacks) to fetch a pair of badges to wear to the dance. She'd open the cup- board, far from bare, and inevitably have badges tumbling after her. But Mary's goose is never cooked -- she's got more ideas than Bre'er Fox. So she huffed and she puffed and she stitched and she twitched and she changed a pumpkin into a golden tote bag before the stroke of midnight. All the King's horses and the King's men couldn't have put together a prettier bag on which to pin all those badges. (Maybe some other fairy princesses in the big wide fantasyland of square dancing would be wise to do likewise). And everywhere that Mary goes the bag is sure to go. Another nice advantage of the bag is that wherever it goes, conversation flows. NOTE: The identities of the persons in the story above have been preserved— the basic story is true — only the feathers of a few of old Mother Goose's tales have been ruffled a trifle.
