HERE «he is—your babyl Little Mi»» Julie Cruze of the Thanhouser company. Of course, really she isn't your baby, she is the adorable belonging of Mr. and Mrs. Jama
Craze. But—"reely" she belongs to you. You've seen and loved her in "The Million Dollar Mystery" and in "Zudora" which are. by the way, the only two produc

drinking water. She pulled it out of her mouth and looked into her mother's face.. "Gabizadeamal ?" she asked—which means, as of course you know. "What shall I do about
it, muvver?" "O," Marguerite Snow said, patting a fat little leg, " I'd give it to the lady if I were you darling." . . ® ^

resumed her bottle over which she fell asleep in about two seconds. Mrs. Cruze after covering her up with care, took the visitor into another room and gave her the picture you
