It is an “incredible: sight, to see
these little animals, dressed in col-
ored.. gingham, rolling balls’ and
drums, retrieving toys’ when told
which one to bring, pushing ° scooters,

acting nursemaid to another. ina

small pram.

Behind the’ footlights at the eve-

a.row of older Scotties, some dressed |.
with. bonnets,. some’ wearing: :spec-
